Book 1
In "Pleasure Model", the first book in the "Netherworld" trilogy, down-and out police detective Rook gets a big break when he's assigned to a bizarre and vicious murder case. The clues are colder than the corpse and the case looks like it'll remain unsolved - until an eyewitness is discovered. But the witness is a Pleasure Model, an illegal gene-grown human. Plesur's only purpose is to provide satisfaction to her owner - in any way. When the murderer targets Plesur in order to eliminate the one witness, Rook takes her into hiding to protect her. Thus begins a descent into the dark world of exotic pleasure mods and their illicit buyers and manufacturers. Rook frantically looks for clues, struggling to stay one stop ahead of those looking to kill them both. But is Rook falling under Plesur's spell...?
Book 3
Detective Rook Venner was a successful Investigating Officer for the Hudson Valley Police Department - until the General Sangacha murder case came across his desk and his world exploded. Now after being dragged through hell and back, and surviving the brain washing efforts of the fascist clique running the country, Rook Venner knows that the deck is stacked against him. The eyewitness pleasure model that he's sworn to protect carries a secret in her head that terrifies the powers-that-be in the USA of 2068. And they will do anything to find her and Rook. Even bring in a Tactical Robotic Regiment to track them down and annihilate them. The only choice Rook and Plesur have is to find the hidden location of the coordinates that were planted in the pleasure mod's head, the isolated mountain ridge where it all began. Deep underground, in a warren of machine halls and ice caves, something so horrific is happening that just knowing three code words is enough to get you killed: Operation Taste Imperative. Rook and Plesur have no way back, no way out, and only one way forward.
If they want to survive and have any kind of life together, they must discover the astonishing, terrifying secret behind the barbed wire and minefields that protect this secret laboratory inside the mountain.

Following the explosive events of book one, "Pleasure Model", Detective Rook Venner, Mistress Julia, and Plesur are on the run from the government troops trying to kill them and from a shadowy group that wants to capture Plesur alive for its own purposes. What secrets have been implanted in Plesur's head - and why are they worth killing for? Caught between these two powerful rivals, the trio hides out in the lawless New Jersey territory. Betrayed by gang members looking to collect the bounty on Plesur's head, the three are separated, and Rook and Mistress Julia find themselves in mortal danger. Julia, given as a prize to a gang member, finds herself in chains, but not without her own means of fighting back. Rook, forced to fight for his life in the gang's bloodthirsty gladiatorial games, must stay alive long enough to rescue Plesur, but time is running out. "The Bloodstained Man" is a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled ride through a future where pleasure has a price, and Plesur holds the key to a secret that could rock the country to its very core.
