Thriller Techno | Mystery Police Procedural

Perfect for fans of Ben Winters, Jen Lu is back on the case when the murder of a lawyer sparks an even larger conspiracy in Michael Kaufman’s second book in the thrilling series.

It’s March 2034, six months after D.C. police detective Jen Lu and Chandler, her sentient bio-computer implanted in her brain, cracked the mystery of Eden. The climate crisis is hitting harder than ever: a mega-hurricane has devastated the eco-system and waves of refugees pour into Washington, D.C. The rich live forever while the desperate scramble for the modified longevity treatment.
 
Then, the death of lawyer and media darling Patty Fernandez signals a glaring red flag to a wider conspiracy. Fernandez won a court case for massive climate change reparations to be paid out by oil, gas, and coal companies. Jen and Chandler are called in to crack the case. Signs point to Fernandez’s ex, James Culpepper, a former oil giant but as Jen and Chandler dig deeper, they turn up more suspects who might have an even greater motive for killing Fernandez.
 
Jen’s search puts her in the crosshairs of those who will ensure the truth never comes to light, no matter the cost. As she continues to delve deeper into the seedy underbelly of the city, she has to move quickly before she becomes next on the killer’s list.
