back on the case when the death of a lawyer sparks an even more
intriguing mystery in Michael Kaufman's second book in the thrilling
series.

Chandler, her sentient bio-computer and wannabe tough guy implanted in
her brain, cracked the mystery of Eden. The climate crisis is hitting

waves of refugees pour into Washington, D.C.
Environmental lawyer and media darling Patty Garcia dies in a bizarre

only Jen thinks she was murdered. After all, Garcia just won a court
case for massive climate change reparations to be paid out by oil, gas,
and coal companies. Jen is warned off, but she and Chandler start
digging. Signs point to Garcia's abusive ex, a former oil giant, but
soon Jen turns up more suspects who have an even greater motive for
committing murder
Soon Jen is in the crosshairs of those who will ensure the truth never
comes to light, no matter the cost. She has to move quickly before she
becomes next on the killer's list.
