Jake Hines and his team are plunged into the controversial world of
cutting edge science when a biochemist is found dead at his desk.
Rutherford's Property Crimes division is on a hot streak. Having
recently attracted a string of New Science businesses, the town has had
fourteen office break-ins in just five days, though nothing seems to
have been taken. A series of threatening notes are left by an
environmental group, and curiosity soon turns to alarm when a lead
scientist is found dead at his desk at one of the invasion sites.
As the small start-ups that received the messages are damaged and
frightened by sneak attacks, Jake and his team must embark on a steep
learning. But is the professor's death really to do with his pioneering
scientific work, or is there more to it than meets the eye?
