Body Modification is nothing new in Schengen City. Even Detective John Moglich has a cybered arm, on account of being shot by a punk with an auto-shotgun back when he was a cop. Naturally, when Detective Moglich is given a hefty sum to investigate the attempted murder of a woman with more than her fair share of mods, he doesn't hesitate.
As he gets deeper into the investigation, things get weirder. He discovers a fetish subculture centering on the worship of the female breast, and the conversion of its milk into a pain-soothing drug. The milk may be poisoned though, since those who drink it are dying in strange ways. Even worse is the discovery that those who taste the breastmilk are also found to be carrying an ugly parasite in their blood. The bloodsucker is half-monster, half-machine, and Detective Moglich must find its creator before it’s too late.
Touch No One eBook Joseph Hirsch
Nice plot work with a good twist at the end. Good description of this new to us world. No slow spots...I tend to skip pages when bored. The vocabulary was wonderful. I think I had to look up at least half a dozen words.There were a few pronoun issues. I have highlighted in blue. Also a typo I highlighted. It was certainly nothing to put off a reader. I'm just a picky old English teacher.
I will absolutely buy this author again. I like the world and the protagonist.

Touch No One eBook Joseph Hirsch Reviews
The cover is definitely eye grabbing and the book summary only adds to the curiosity. And while I definitely enjoyed the strange story and convoluted mystery, I can't say I'm in love with the writing style. I totally get that you have to write to the character and Detective Moglich is not exactly refined, but sometimes it's difficult to read from his perspective.
**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**
Really good and compelling sci-fi/suspense but with a very strange fixation on breasts and lactation.
I love it when the speculative still has people trying their best in the face of what has typically been humanity's endless problems. Touch No One hits the sweet spot on that, giving us the possibilities of a wondrous future and the believability of what people would likely and unfortunately do in it. It's gripping and gritty too, making me think of the book as Raymond Chandler meets Mondo 2000 in a bar run by Phillip K. Dick. Had a great deal of fun. I was tickled when I first saw my name in the dedication, and I was highly proud of that by the end.
Touch No One is a book that lulls you into a false sense of security with its familiar detective-noir narration, and then challenges you with the inclusion of cyberpunk sci-fi elements, before completely unsettling you with the ever-darker, and increasingly more complex, plot developments. What Joseph Hirsch has attempted here is rather bold and audacious, but it works surprisingly well.
On that detective-noir, front we have the tired old cliché of a retired police detective turned private investigator, all cranky and suitably jaded, who agrees to take on an attempted murder investigation for the money. On the cyberpunk front, we have a world where body augmentation is standard, artificial intelligence abounds, and neural connections allow brains to serve (essentially) as discreet smartphones. On the plot development front . . . well, that's where things get interesting.
This is a story involving augmented prostitutes, adult nursing, opium-laced lactation, freaky parasitic infections, the worship of ancient gods, conspiracies, and murder. Every time I figured the story had reached the pinnacle of weirdness (the giant crib with the freaky fetish totem breastpump was an early highlight), a new character or a new wrinkle was introduced. Hirsch takes his time with each development, drawing out the story between them, so it's not an assault upon the senses, but rather an infection of its own that keeps worming deeper and deeper into your brain. It is often creepy and gross, making you crave a Touch brand cuddle when you're done, but it (smartly) never crosses the line of eroticism.
If you have an imagination broad enough to encompass the ideas, and don't need to be spoon-fed explanations for everything, Touch No One can be a dangerously addictive read.
This book has good storyline and a main character that could have been fleshed out more. I enjoyed all of the thoughts about future mods.
