Welcome to Prismatica, where the atmosphere has an attitude. In the city of Prismatica, you don't just feel emotions-you breathe them. The air is a swirling cocktail of Vibe-O-Sphere pollutants. A stroll through a Red Sector will have you looking for a bar fight before you've crossed the street. Take a shortcut through a White Zone, and you'll be so overwhelmed by Total Peace that you'll forget to keep your heart beating. In Prismatica, the mood of the room isn't a metaphor; it's a health hazard. Meet Barnaby Black: The man who sees in boring. Barnaby is a private investigator with a rare medical defect he is Concept-Blind. While the rest of the world is being manipulated by neon mists of Greed (Green) and sulfurous clouds of Cowardice (Yellow), Barnaby sees everything in glorious, old-fashioned, noir-standard Grayscale. He's the only man in the city who can walk through a Blue Sector without bursting into tears or order a coffee in a Red Sector without punching the barista. The Impossible Crime. When Magenta Maggie Mirth-a woman currently vibrating in a neon-pink cloud of frantic energy-bursts into his office, Barnaby is handed the case of a lifetime. Her husband, a master Color-Blender, has vanished from a locked room inside the Cathedral of Total Silence. It should be an open-and-shut non-case. The Cathedral is a White Zone, where the air is so thick with peace that an aggressive thought is physically impossible to form, let alone a murder. Yet, the room is splattered with a pigment that shouldn't exist on the visible spectrum: Ultra-Violet Murder. A Race Against the Beige. Partnered with the hyper-reactive Maggie, Barnaby must navigate a city where the very air is trying to kill, calm, or bankrupt him. From high-speed car chases through weeping Blue Districts to a literal Orange Panic where the population is simultaneously terrified and violent, Barnaby is the only one who can see the truth behind the tint. But a shadow organization known as The Neutrals is watching. Their goal? To Bleach Prismatica into a world of The Clear-a state of total Beige where no one feels, no one fights, and everyone is a perfectly bored, productive worker. Barnaby might be Concept-Blind, but he's starting to see the big picture. And if he doesn't solve the mystery of the missing Blender, the world is about to become a lot less colorful-and a lot more deadly. Ultra-Violet Murder is a hilarious, high-stakes dive into a world where the only thing more dangerous than your enemies is the air you breathe.
