Night Market, Jonathan Moore

Near future noir, set in San Francisco. Fans of Blake Crouch and Dean Koontz's Jane Hawk series should eat this up.

The City by the Bay is in the grip of mindless consumerism. Whatever the next new thing is, everyone wants it even if they can't afford it and it'll be delivered to their window by drone.

SFPD Homicide Inspectors Jenner and Carver are called to a suspicious death, they don't get very far before their scene is invaded by the FBI. Ross Carver wakes up in his own apartment 3 days later with a killer headache and a swiss-cheesed memory. His neighbour, Mia, a women Carver has heard but never seen is sitting beside him, keeping him company. She tells him the men who brought him back told her that Carver had been poisoned, but his station Chief is adamant that Carver has had the flu and they've been emailing over the weekend. Carver, not sure he can trust his own partner, let alone the mysterious Mia begins piecing together what those who control the city would rather he forgot.
