Book #1 of the Rise of the Light Catchers Series

 A monstrous utopia serviced by a workforce of reanimated dead is threatened by a cop who must decide between saving humankind or his wife.

Soon after its founding, the Opulent Life Option Corporation (a.k.a. OLO) replaces the North American Republic’s workforce with resurrected corpses. They brand their unhuman creations Bags. The strangling OLO Inflation that follows forces the masses to consider the question posed by the corporation’s ubiquitous advertisements: “Is a decade of pleasure better than a lifetime of suffering?” Most are forced by starvation to accept OLO’s contract in exchange for an opulent life that ends when they are processed into Bags on the ten-year anniversary of signing. The stubborn few that decide to brave life in OLO’s world as uncontracteds must compete on the streets to feed themselves and families.

OLO’s survival is threatened when Brandon Kirby, the company’s founder, disappears with the formula for producing Bags and fumbles it into the hands of a contract police detective named Leon Deer. Leon must then choose between saving humankind from OLO’s ravenous appetite or satisfying an obsession to save his wife’s corpse from a nightmarish existence servicing wealthy Maestros in a brothel. As Leon burrows under the surface of OLO’s dystopian world, he discovers a mystery that leads beyond his reality to a shocking secret about OLO, his wife, and himself.
