I have a new novel-in-progress called End Man. It's a speculative mystery set somewhat in the future, but it deals with current issues in the accumulation of personal data. Below is a synopsis and a link to the opening chapters. The novel is available to beta read if you get interested. Any feedback appreciated.
Afflicted with dromophobia, the fear of crossing streets, 26-year-old Raphy Lennon must live out his life in the one square mile that surrounds his Los Angeles home. Fortunately the area provides everything an artistically sensitive person needs, including a job at an oddball company that tracks the online remains of the deceased. One of Raphy's assignments will require him to move beyond his geographic boundaries into the realm of extreme data harvesting, psychometrics and resurrection with a high tech twist.
