Mad Cave Studios sent us an early look at Exit City from Mark London and Karl Mostert. This is the third series from London’s Underworld universe.
In Exit City, there’s a thin line between good and evil, and Detectives McCormick and Miller are about to find out the hard way. When they come to the scene of a brutal accident, it becomes clear that the Major Crimes division was called in for a reason. With minimal evidence, McCormick and Miller must work together through a web of seedy criminals, genetic experiments, and a crooked government. But that’s not the only thing standing in their way, McCormick is hiding a secret that would make anyone question his capabilities.
“Writing Exit City was such a wild ride because it allowed me to explore the intricate complexities of human nature and morality,” said series creator and writer Mark London in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “Delving into the lives of Detectives McCormick and Miller, I was able to create characters that are deeply flawed yet relatable, each grappling with their own secrets and inner demons. The setting of a gritty, crime-ridden city provided a rich backdrop for tension and conflict, enabling me to weave together a narrative filled with unexpected twists and turns. It was thrilling to craft a plot that kept readers on the edge of their seats while also challenging them to ponder the gray areas between good and evil. Themes of betrayal and loyalty are also on display and they resonated with me on a personal level, allowing for a deeper exploration of trust and the choices we make under pressure. Writing about McCormick’s hidden secret added an extra layer of complexity, making the story not just a crime thriller, but also a psychological journey. Ultimately, Exit City was a labor of love. I truly hope readers find as much enjoyment in unraveling the mysteries within its pages as I did in writing them.”
Exit City #1 arrives on November 6, 2024.
