Ex-library book with loose front endpaper removed & small library stamp to copyright page:- Synopsis: Alan Dean Foster, the bestselling author of the 'Commonwealth', 'Journeys Of The Catechist, and 'Spellsinger' novels is renowned for creating complex, convincing, vivid worlds of science fiction and fantasy. Now Foster takes readers to his grittiest, most exciting creation: the hard-boiled, high tech, fever-hot streets of the Montezuma Strip. A Mexamerican magalopolis, sprawling from Baja to the Gulf, the Strip is a Spanglish maelstrom of maquiladoras, muy malo hombres, mayhem, murder. And the home of one tough cop who specializes in solving the most devious, diabolic crimes that future felons can devise. Inspector Angel Cardenas has seen plenty of corpses like the one in Quetzal inurb - just another Juan Doe robbed of his cash, cards, internal organs, and then dumped in a gutter. However, Cardenas soon learns this particular murder is anything but ordinary. First, the infallible DNA_ID database insists the cadaver is that of two people - local executive George Anderson and a mysterious Texas businessman. Then Anderson's wife and daughter, Surtsey Mockerkin and Katla, turn up missing, their posh suburban home has been retrofitted into a huge time bomb. And at least three mob syndicates from as many continents are competing to capture or kill twelve-year-old Katla. Who was the dead man, and why is his daughter being hunted? Relying on his training as a nearly telepathic intuit, Inspector Cardenas embarks on a search that leads him from the sex parlors and stimstick clubs of the Strip - where kids are deadly and even music can kill - to an undersea control room where computer crimes are committed by criminal computers. Finding Katla Anderson is the key to unraveling the deadly mystery, but what Angel Cardenas doesn't know is that the closer he gets to the girl, the closer the assassins are getting to them:- Review(s): "Alan Dean Foster is a master storyteller" - SF Site / "Foster is a wonderful author" - Midwest Book Review / "One of the most consistently inventive and fertile writers of science fiction and fantasy" - The Times (London):- (original cost $24.95).

The Mocking Program The Mocking Program is a science fiction novel by American author Alan Dean Foster, published in 2002. Plot A hard-boiled police procedural set in a megalopolis called the Montezuma Strip, which stretches along the old U.S.-Mexican border. When police inspector Angel Cardenas investigates the case of a male corpse found with most of its internal organs missing, the victim turns out to have had two identities - one as a local executive, the other as a Texas businessman. The plot thickens when the victim's booby-trapped house nearly kills Cardenas and his partner. The author makes use of a vast array of futuristic elements; notably, sapient apes led by gorillas and intelligent rogue computers that commit computer crimes. While the book does not state this, this is a continuation of a series of short stories featuring the same main character, written by Foster and initially published in genre magazines under the pen-name of James Lawson, and then collected under his own name in the Warner book Montezuma Strip (1995). ABOUT THE AUTHOR.
