#9 Deadeye by William C. Dietz

[missingvolume]

Cassandra is cop in a future Los Angeles that now deals with living with a plague that mutates people if they don’t die from it. And if you mutate you are then a carrier for the virus until you die. The world is fractured along the lines of infected and normal. The book starts out as the usual cop centric mystery of find the kidnap victim and all the evidence points that she has been taken to the mutant lands to be a surrogate mother.  Cassandra is on the case and is teamed with a cop from the mutant side. If I didn’t think about the problems of biology it was an ok read but there were a few too many plot points that made me scratch my head. The main plot was good and the ending wasn’t bad but a few too many places in the book made me stop for a second and try and think of a workaround that would get over what would be a science plot point. A bubble gum read and not too bad if you like mysteries but I had a few too many parts that I questioned the science to really bother to read the next one in the series.
