Bøger i Rachel Peng serien

Conspiracies, political cover-ups, acts of terrorism... As one of the first cyborgs employed by the federal government, Rachel Peng though she had already lived through it all. Then, without warning, fourteen blocks of downtown Washington D.C. are gone, blown apart by bombs unlike anything Rachel has ever seen. The evidence is even more troubling, with each new clue suggesting their own people might be behind the attack. Rachel and her partner, Detective Raul Santino, might not believe that the Department of Homeland Security is responsible, but the rest of the country does. As tensions mount and the city begins to burn, Rachel learns that none of her usual investigatory techniques apply--for the first time in her long career as a cop, finding the bad guys might not be as important as learning why they wanted the public to rise up against their own government. But even if Rachel and Santino can discover the killer's motive, it might be too late to stop what he's put into motion.

Almost a year has passed since the Office of Adaptive and Complementary Enhancement Technologies went public. Agent Rachel Peng has settled into her new job as cyborg liaison to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police, but for Rachel and her team, murder is always just the beginning. This time, the body is found in the unlikeliest of places-a storage room under 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Robbery gone wrong would be bad enough, but Rachel and her partner, Detective Raul Santino, can't stop once they've caught the murderer. As soon as they've solved that first mystery, they find themselves pulled into a wild chain of events, with Rachel at their center. Rachel and Santino must discover why a millennia-old artifact had been lost beneath the White House, and the race to recover this stolen piece of antiquity will put them up against one of the country's most powerful political figures. And he won't rest until Rachel and OACET have been destroyed.
