Blue limbo

In early-21st century Toronto, police officer Mitch Helwig survives—in rapid succession—the murder of his partner, an attempt on his own life, another attempt on the life of his boss, Captain Karoulis, and suspension from the force. To deal with the parties responsible, Helwig turns rogue cop, setting off a sequence of explosively paced confrontations—using Blue Limbo, a technique for partially reviving the dead, on Karoulis to provide him with vital evidence. Then there is Mitch's octogenarian father, Paul, a man of wit, courage and resources unsuspected by even his son, let alone the villains. Mitch Helwig is a renegade on the street with some heavy-duty hi-tech weaponry and a not quite sane determination to get revenge—even if he has to go beyond death to do it.
