Science Fiction
A futuristic version of Dick Tracy, as described by
Margaret Atwood, who also tweeted that Company Town is a
"smart, weird dystopia."
New Arcadia is 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 New Arcadia 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 art of self-
defense and her record as a fighter mean that her services
are 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 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.
