Abandoned after 75 pages. Writing was sub-par. The interesting dystopian world of dense fog had potential but the author didn't have the necessary skill to write a detective procedural. I believe the author was going for bleak, gritty, gumshoe noir. Needlessly wordy. Repetitious activities replayed constantly ... drinking, smoking, drugging, masturbating, wandering, reminiscing. I had enough. Edit:Rated F [1 star].

Next is What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris. A historical mystery set in 1811 England. My first with this author.
