Case 2: A Sci-Fi Mystery

The mob bosses were gathered to discuss the best way to distribute the recently deceased Hamer’s territory without a war breaking out among the gangs. Opal and Nine had already been bickering and Falhar was trying to settle them down so they could get on with this. Suddenly the door burst open and a confident woman with long black hair strode in, leaving the security guards on the floor behind her. She put an envelope on the table saying she wanted the named building to be protected since there was someone in there she wanted kept safe. Then she walked out. Opal spoke up, confused why all of the men were so intimidated by her. Apparently she was the one who killed Hamer despite 50 guards protecting him. She was more dangerous than all of them put together. Detective Annalise Storm could not imagine why ETek was sending her and Devlin Madoc to work a case that others were far more qualified for. But before she arrived at the ETek Building, Devlin claimed another meeting and asked her to stop the vehicle while he got out and let her proceed on her own. The reception area was empty, so she sat down and waited 20 minutes before someone said Mr. Fox was ready to see her. When she realized he had seen her the entire time behind his holographic office glass, just to stroke his ego, she added him to her hate list. She looked at her wrist, concerned that the bug her brother Xavier had planted in her comm unit would allow him to hear things she did not want him to know. Mr. Fox saw her glance and assured her he had taken care of the problem, looping the video of her waiting as well as preventing their discussion from being heard. He had also hacked her comms and bugged her car. There had been an attempt to kill Mr. Fox that morning, and he wanted her to investigate “off the books”. The police AI worked for Mr. Fox also and would keep him informed. Devlin had a secret he did not want revealed to Annalise. He had to stay out of ETek HQ always, or his pureblood status on scanners would vanish. Fox picking him for this case had to be a play to force his modded status to be revealed. He was going to need a plan! The author creates a magnificent picture of this world that perfectly lets the reader understand the society’s structure, with color-named districts denoting the classification of each social group in the population. Everything is very regimented in this world! I loved this whole series! The characters are outstanding, well developed and with distinct personalities. This story line was excellent with plenty of action and suspense! I highly recommend it!
