Bumper City

An Opera of Knives & Bullets is the first book in the Bumper City series.
Las Vegas is nearly destroyed. Rebuilt and renamed as New Vegas, the city sits under a dark cloud that blocks all sunlight.
Planes can't fly, cell phones don't work, and twenty miles of toxic wasteland surround the city.
Beneath the neon, a serial killer roams the streets, and a new drug infused with nanotechnology, is killing thousands.
The streets turn violent as mutants riot in protest of working conditions and the disappearance of their children.
A cabal of Big Tech, the Wealthy Elite, and Corrupt Politicians attempt to cover it up. They can't allow anything to interfere with the elections, profits, or their plans.
Can hard-nosed Detective Alton Cold and his talking car Bessimer catch the killer, stop the cabal, and expose the truth?
Or will the sudden appearance of a mysterious woman cloud his judgement as the unnatural cloud darkens the sky?
To save the people he cares about, he'll put everything on the line to confront a darkness far worse than the night.

Alan McGill is an American author who lives in Northwestern Pennsylvania with a clowder of cats. Alan was close to his grandparents who grew up in the Great Depression. They were married young and remained together until his grandmother's passing. His grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and was a gifted storyteller who weaved humorous tales about tough events. Alan grew up with these stories of right and wrong along with watching fictional heroes such as The Lone Ranger, Adam West's Batman and Captain America. Heroes who stood up to bullies and protected those who could not protect themselves. This made an impression on the author to always do what was right in his own life and shaped his love for storytelling. He is a multi-genre author with his debut novel being A Cry in the Moon's Light which is a horror romance and mystery series. As with all his books, one of the primary themes involves characters who strive to do the right thing regardless of the adversity they face. The second theme present in all his books is love. A pure and deep love that defeats all evil.
