They call it Company Town - a city-size 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 bioengineered 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.
