Based on a true story. POSTMODERNVENUS is the first novel in a trilogy. A work of San Francisco noir that immerses readers in the labyrinth of the city's broken justice system. To navigate it, Rose Visjonær turns to government codes, case law, and philosophy, calculating each move like a queen on a chessboard. With unwavering precision, she decodes stratagems veiled as order and outmaneuvers those who mistake her for a pawn."Halls of Justice painted green-money talking." --Metallica, San Francisco's own immortal metal vanguard In this city, wealth reigns, and truth is buried six feet deep. What begins as a fact-finding mission pulls her deeper into the machinery of power, a labyrinthine chess match. For Rose, justice lies not only in victory but in confronting the system that controls the narrative-its own fiction d'État. Government immunity does not apply when the law imposes a non-discretionary duty under California Government Code § 815.6. A story of virtue. Of power. And ultio tenetur a veritate-justice bound by truth.
