Tony Chu, détective cannibale #2

In a world where taste unlocks secrets, Tony Chu and John Colby—now rebuilt with bionic enhancements—team up under the watchful eye of Mike Applebee for a bizarre bank robbery case involving a pile of fecal matter. Their investigation leads them to reconnect with D-Bear, just for old time’s sake, before diving into a trail of clues that pushes Tony’s abilities to the limit. When Tony samples the crime scene’s chicken gumbo, something unexpected lingers on his tongue—something that changes everything.

In the frozen reaches of the Arctic, John Colby is called to examine a mysterious corpse, while Tony Chu takes a rare break to visit his brother Chow on the remote island of Yamapalu. There, Tony’s personal investigation stirs tension with Lin Sae Woo, who’s already wary of outside interference—especially from the F.D.A.—and her simmering conflict with Tony escalates when an unexpected guest disrupts her solitude.

In "null," Tony Chu, still reeling from being jailed for the murder of Lin Sae Woo, uses his unique ability to glean clues from flesh to help Chief Raymond Kulolo uncover a buried body—and a hidden rooster fighting ring on the north side of Yamapalu. With the Chief’s reluctant permission, Tony delves deeper into the case, visiting the morgue to taste the remains of the victim, where he first encounters the strange, unsettling flavor of Gallasberry.

In "null," Tony Chu digs into a series of gruesome murders at the Yamapalu morgue, where he picks up unsettling impressions of something unnatural—like a vampire’s presence. With Amelia Mintz in danger and the Governor’s military compound holding secrets, Tony must infiltrate the facility to rescue her and his brother Chow, all while navigating the increasingly volatile demands of Chief Applebee. Meanwhile, John Colby works to keep Applebee from escalating the situation.

In the tense aftermath of a botched raid on the Gallsaberry fields, Tony Chu returns to Governor Haupai’s compound with a mission: find Fantanyeros and confront the Vampire, whose presence lingers like a threat in the shadows. With Montero determined to eliminate him and the Governor’s fate hanging in the balance, Tony must navigate a web of betrayal and hidden agendas—where every move could be his last.
