Noir detective novel meets science fiction. Near immortality with the ability to change bodies (sleeves), AI, super drugs, murder, revenge, violence (including torture), and sex. Takeshi Kovacs has his cortical stack (consciousness) restored in a new body to investigate a suicide or maybe murder. Things kind of go down hill from there. Another page turner for me and I'll be taking a look at the second and third books in this series.
I picked that one up in a sale a long time ago, keep meaning to start it, but other books keep getting in the way.
