London, 2054. After a devastating global pandemic and a bloody revolution, Britains new government imposes peace by stringently dictating the nations cultural intake. In the quest to create better citizens, everything from the television we watch to the clothes we wear is strictly policed. As part of the unit tasked with upholding these so-called Bad Taste Laws, H. and his partner, Bagby, have their work cut out.\r\n\r\nWhen former reality TV star Caleb Jennings is found murdered, some suspect it could be a simple vigilante slaying. But, as H. digs deeper into the killing, Bagbys association with old revolutionary figureheads is called into question.\r\n\r\nWith the help of Calebs estranged sister, the museum curator Kate Faron, H. must navigate a Britain in which paranoia and suspicion of the unknown are rife, all the while dealing with the mysterious tech behemoth Vangelis, new revolutionary murmurings, and the legacy of Kates biologist parents.\r\n\r\nCompelled by what he uncovers, H. begins to question his loyalty to the state at a time when national stability couldnt be more precarious.
