The Flying Dead - a police procedural set in New Zealand

Q: Is this book a police procedural, a techno-thriller, or a horror story?

A: I hope it’s all of those things to some degree, with each element adding something to the story. While some readers might not care for the procedural aspects, others might not like the blood and guts. I just hope the combination works for most readers. While I enjoy reading procedurals, all my novels include a “techno-” subject matter to establish the setting and bring in the gritty details. For example, in The Bone Hunter series, the protagonist is a paleontologist. In my E&M Techno-thriller series, the lead character is an expert in all things nuclear. Here, in The Flying Dead, the focus is on behavioral psychology and behavioral biology, which is my background, having a Ph.D. in psychopharmacology.
