Not Knowing

Welcome to a dystopian criminal paradise where punishment gets shelved for decades later. Old-school detective Fromstein must transition to cyber policework in a legal system too backed-up and broken to salvage. During wintertime in a city full of freezing hearts, he invents his own form of corruption to fight crime. That includes passing justice along to vigilantes and telling paramedics when to drive slow.

Fromstein has a new mouthy partner and an impossible murder case: a dead woman in a ditch who dressed for the wrong continent and took the bullet for fun. Desperate for clues, he may succumb to internet addiction right there on the crime scene. Meanwhile, Fromstein's whalelike partner, Wesley, searches his pockets for food and other unmentionable stimulations. But if Fromstein solves a case this cold, he may switch on judge-mode for life.
