Synopsis

DEPTH follows private investigator Simone Pierce in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan submerged and surrounded by unforgiving ocean. Only the tallest skyscrapers are still habitable, fortified by cutting-edge Plasteel and connected by a network of bridges and boats (ranging from hyper-lux to barely seaworthy). A routine case turns into a deadly one and Simone finds herself in the middle of the city's most powerful factions, vying for control of what remains beneath the deadly waters. DEPTH is where Phillip K. Dick meets Raymond Chandler--a post-apocalyptic noir of intrigue, betrayal, romance and violence. Lev AC Rosen is the author of the critically acclaimed ALL MEN OF GENIUS (Tor, 2011). Little Brown Books for Young Readers will publish Rosen's middle grade book WOUNDABOUT in Summer 2015." Phaidon, a publisher best known for its lavishly produced art books, hired Judith Regan as the CEO of a new division at the company called Regan Arts. DEPTH is the lead fiction title for the imprint's Spring 2015 launch.

Goodreads review by Kate on January 03, 2018

An intriguing dystopia set in a flooded NYC. Refreshingly, this isn't a society that's collapsed, just changed - albeit not for the best. Life - and murder - continues. Interesting heroine, friends and worldbuilding, slightly let down by the predictable whodunnit plot. 3.5 stars.......more

Goodreads review by Lori L on April 25, 2015

Depth by Lev AC Rosen is a recommended detective novel set in a future NYC. Simone Pierce is a private investigator who, when the story opens, is "on the roof of a twenty-four-story building, so the ocean lay four stories down, churning just below the twenty-first floor. The fog was thick, but she c......more

I've had this on my TBR list for quite some time so I am glad to have finally got around to reading it. That said, it's a short book that took me far longer than it should have because I just didn't find the mystery all that compelling (something that surprised me because the summary really sounded......more
