I Only Killed Him Once
A blend of science fiction and stylish mystery noir featuring a robot detective: the newest stand-alone installment in the Ray Electromatic mystery series
Another Hollywood night, another job for electric-detective-turned-robotic-hitman Raymond Electromatic. The target is a tall man in a black hat, and while Ray completes his mission successfully, he makes a startling discovery — one he soon forgets when his twenty-four-hour memory tape loops to the end and is replaced with a fresh reel.
When a tall man in a black hat arrives in the offices of the Electromatic Detective Agency the next day, Ray has a suspicion he has met this stranger before, although Ray’s computerized boss, Ada, is not saying a thing. But their visitor isn’t here to hire Ray for a job — he’s here to deliver a stark warning.
Because time is running out for Ray and if they want to survive, they need to do exactly what the man in the black hat says.
A man that Raymond Electromatic has already killed.
