Science Fiction
They call it Company Town--a city-sized oil rig off the
coast of the Canadian Maritimes, now owned by one very
wealthy, powerful, byzantine family: Lynch Ltd. Hwa is of the few people in her community (which constitutes
the whole rig) to forgo bio-engineered enhancements. As
such, she's the last truly organic person left on the
rig--making her doubly an outsider, as well as a neglected
daughter and bodyguard extraordinaire. Still, her expertise
in the arts of self-defense and her record as a fighter mean
that her services are yet in high demand. When the youngest
Lynch needs training and protection, the family turns to
Hwa. But can even she protect against increasingly intense
death threats seemingly coming from another timeline? Meanwhile, a series of interconnected murders threatens the
city's stability and heightens the unease of a rig turning
over. All signs point to a nearly invisible serial killer,
but all of the murders seem to lead right back to Hwa's
front door. Company Town has never been the safest place to
be--but now, the danger is personal. A brilliant, twisted mystery, as one woman must evaluate
saving the people of a town that can't be saved, or saving
herself.
