CRIMSON SMOKE A Hardboiled Detective. A Neon-Drenched Future. A Love That Defies Time. In the neon-drenched underworld of 2149, Dex is a man out of time-a hard-drinking, hard-hitting detective from the past, fueled by vengeance and a cigarette that never quite burns out. His target? Moreau, a sadistic tyrant from the future who murdered the only woman Dex ever loved. The chase has pulled Dex across decades, but the deeper he dives, the more tangled the threads of fate become. Then he meets Evelyn, a jazz singer from 1949, and the lines between past and future blur. And just when he thinks he's lost everything, he finds something impossible-a droid replica of his late wife, rebuilt in a future where love and humanity are currency for power. Now, trapped between the smoky noir of the past and the brutal neon chaos of the future, Dex must make an impossible choice: avenge the past, or rewrite the future. Fans of Blade Runner, Sin City, and The Maltese Falcon-get ready for a gritty, booze-soaked, time-bending noir filled with sex, violence, and the ghosts of a love that refuses to die.High-stakes time-travel noirA detective torn between vengeance and loveA neon-lit underworld soaked in crime and corruptionHardboiled grit meets cyberpunk futurismThe clock is ticking.
