    In a post-apocalyptic flooded New York City, a private investigator’s routine surveillance case leads to a treasure everyone wants to find—and someone is willing to kill for.

    Depth combines hardboiled mystery and dystopian science fiction in a future where the rising ocean levels have left New York twenty-one stories under water and cut off from the rest of the United States. But the city survives, and Simone Pierce is one of its best private investigators. Her latest case, running surveillance on a potentially unfaithful husband, was supposed to be easy. Then her target is murdered, and the search for his killer points Simone towards a secret from the past that can’t possibly be real—but that won’t stop the city’s most powerful men and women from trying to acquire it for themselves, with Simone caught in the middle.

    Hush Money - Chuck Greaves
    "Heinlein meets Hammett in this whip-smart whodunnit set amid the billowing fog and rising waters of a future New York."
    Await Your Reply - Dan Chaon
    "I have long admired Lev Rosen's strange, genre-bending work—his riff on the detective story is elegant, surprising, and, yes, deep."
    NPR
    "Rosen doesn't subvert the genre; he revels in it. Rather than diluting noir's shadowy textural and moral murk, his use of science fiction heightens the tension—not to mention the stakes . . . Depth is starkly glamorous, telegraphed in clipped prose and sharp dialogue that's as taut as a garrote."
    The Strand
    "Sci-fi meets detective fiction, and politics provides the glue. Lev AC Rosen has crafted an easy, fast-read, vacation-ready thriller."
    Science Fiction Book Club
    "Rosen has written an intrigue-laden detective story that takes advantage of the setting's mystique... Secrets flow like the tide, everybody is hiding something, and trust can get you killed."
    The London Sun
    "An enthralling murder mystery set in an intriguing world... Dive in."
    Bookshelf Butterfly
    "Everything about this book is just effortlessly cool... Depth is one of the most original crime novels I've read in a long time."
    Nihil Sed Tempus
    "Rosen drew me in like a moth to a flame... Depth is a fresh take on dystopian fantasy. Rosen is a definite author to watch and love."
    The Journal (New Ulm, MN) - Betty J. Roiger
    "Holy cow! What a delightful mashup of ‘40s detective noir and science fiction.

    Most of New York City is underwater, but a PI like Simone Pierce can still make a living as long as there are cheating spouses. Simone thinks she's tailing another cheater, but the mysterious blonde he meets with doesn't seem interested in romance, and the detective's quarry later ends up dead. Her ex-boyfriend cop wants to ask her questions about the dead man, so it's a relief to have a client whose one wish is for Simone to show him around some of the sunken buildings of the city. But this is noir, so nothing is simple as it seems. VERDICT Simone is a female detective in the Kinsey Millhone and V.I. Warshowski mold: tough, tenacious, and pragmatic. The real star of this noir take on dystopia is the crumbling, barnacle-encrusted landscape of New York, where the ocean has risen 20 stories and homes and businesses are either partially flooded or floating. Rosen's (All Men of Genius) future world is a dark place, reshaped by intense climate change and suffering under dogmatic religious fanatics.
