In the third book of the Walking Shadows series, an Automatic is charged with murder and Roche and Allen must prove his innocence, because failure would mean the eradication of all Automatics in America in this alternate version of 1933.
Dodging the mafia, the cops, and the FBI, Elias Roche and Allen must find a killer with both a time limit and a looming war hanging over their heads.
In a very different 1933, self-styled detective Elias Roche and his robot partner, Allen, immerse themselves in the criminal underworld to find the killer and hopefully prevent war on New York's streets when a murder occurs that not only threatens both the police and the mafia but appears connected to Roche's past.
