The Pittsburgh Dominic lives in is the Archive, an immersive virtual reconstruction of the city's buildings, parks, and landmarks, as well as the people who once lived there. Including Dominic's wife and unborn child. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When he's not reliving every recorded moment with his wife in an endless cycle of desperation and despair, Dominic investigates mysterious deaths preserved in the Archive before Pittsburgh's destruction. His latest cold case is the apparent murder of a woman whose every appearance is deliberately being deleted from the Archive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Obsessed with uncovering this woman's identity and what happened to her, Dominic follows a trail from the virtual world into reality.

Dick and J.G. Ballard; a cynically outrageous mystery less in the tradition of Chandler than that of James Ellroy. A bleak, gorgeous romp through a pornographic and political American id. If books like this are the future of fiction, I'm not afraid for books at all.\"--\u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Post-Gazette \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e*Stewart O'Nan\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Sweterlitsch\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gone World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTomorrow and Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e.
