Blurb: “ONE WOMAN MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN
PROTECTING THE PEOPLE OF A TOWN THAT CAN'T BE SAVED-OR SAVING HERSELF.
New Arcadia is a city-sized oil rig off the coast of the Canadian Maritimes, now owned by one very powerful and secretive family-run corporation:
Lynch Ltd.
Hwa is one 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 in high de-mand. When the youngest Lynch needs training and protection, the family patriarch turns to Hwa. But can 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 fear of the 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. New Arcadia has never been the safest place to be-but now the danger is personal.
A thrilling near-future noir mystery for fans of Margaret Atwood, David Lynch, and Cory Doctorow.”
