Featuring Inspector Dreyfus, one of Alastair Reynolds' most popular characters, Elysium Fire is a fast-paced SF crime story that combines a futuristic setting with a gripping tale of technology, revolution, and revenge.

One citizen died a fortnight ago. Two a week ago. Four died yesterday... and unless the cause can be found—and stopped—within the next four months, everyone will be dead. For the Prefects, the hunt for a silent, hidden killer is on.

Alastair Reynolds returns to the world of The Prefect for this stand-alone SF mystery in which no one is safe. The technological implants that connect every citizen have become murder weapons, and no one knows who or what the killer is—or who the next targets will be. Their reach is spreading, and time is not on the Prefects' side.
