STANDARD HOLLYWOOD DEPRAVITY<\/h2>\n

“Effortlessly swift and clever… a spectable to behold… compelling and sympathetic.”<\/strong>

A Ray Electromatic Mystery<\/b><\/p>\n

The moment Raymond Electromatic set eyes on her, he knew she was the dame marked in his optics, the woman that his boss had warned him about.<\/p>\n

Honey.<\/i><\/p>\n

As the band shook the hair out of their British faces, stomping and strumming, the go-go dancer\u2019s cage swung, and the events of that otherwise average night were set in motion. A shot, under the cover of darkness, a body bleeding out in a corner, and most of Los Angeles\u2019 population of hired guns hulking, sour-faced over un-drunk whiskey sours at the bar.<\/p>\n

But as Ray tries to track down the package he was dispatched to the club to retrieve, his own programming might be working against him, sending him down a long hall and straight into a mobster\u2019s paradise. Is Honey still the goal\u2014or was she merely bait for a bigger catch?<\/p>\n

Just your standard bit of Hollywood depravity, as tracked by the memory tapes of a less-than-standard robot hitman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]\t\t\t
