The Depresso Trilogy
by
O. W. Láav
What if you really, really wanted to die… but couldn’t? Welcome to the life of Owen, a suicidal man who can’t seem to die, no matter how many times he’s tried. Owen’s monotonous, bleak life is interrupted by a chance encounter with Dinah Borst, an ambitious but troubled police captain. The officer offers him the chance to find a purpose in life: leverage his ability to avoid death and intervene clandestinely in cases where the police is hampered by red-tape. Together, Owen and Dinah will attempt to make their city a better place by saving lives, fighting a psychopathic unkillable killer, and battling police corruption. But can they manage to overcome their personal challenges and become heroes, or will they sink into a pit of darkness and despair in the process?
"The Depresso Trilogy is a fun, thrilling, and humorous superhero riff… Láav’s storytelling is entertaining. His tales are dark and witty, and also poignant." —Foreword Clarion Reviews "An enthralling, often grim fusion of superpowers and serious real-life issues." —Kirkus Reviews
