Synopsis

In a world of dwindling civil liberties, Kerry O’Malley and her husband, controversial author Connor O’Malley, immigrated to the United States a decade ago to publish Connor’s politically-charged science-fiction book. Kerry has since become Lieutenant of the Chicago Police Department’s Crime Scene Investigation team. She utilizes the Choice system, a computer network that registers the thoughts of willing citizens, to keep the city safe. Most believe that the Choice system has allowed America to retain freedoms absent elsewhere in the world. Connor is a skeptic, and his outspoken views have led to his success. Now wealthy, the O’Malleys live in comfort and freedom with their two children in an idyllic Chicago suburb.

One autumn day, their comfort is shattered. While Kerry delves into an organized crime plot with national security implications, the O’Malleys are violently attacked. The subsequent investigation leads Kerry to an enemy she has long worked to eradicate. A meeting between the crime boss and the CSI Lieutenant leads to more questions than answers. This exciting, action-packed adventure is the first installment of the O’Malley family’s epic efforts to save the very idea of liberty.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In a world of dwindling civil liberties, Kerry O'Malley and her husband, controversial author Connor O'Malley, immigrated to the United States decades ago to publish Connor's politically-charged science-fiction book. Now Lieutenant of the Chicago Crime Scene Investigation team, Kerry has made a name for herself by tracking and eliminating criminals with the help of the Choice system, a computer network that registers the thoughts of every citizen. During a seemingly routine investigation into an organized crime plot, Kerry's family is violently attacked. The subsequent investigation links those targeting her family to those she was originally investigating, and the trail of evidence leads her to an enemy she has long worked to eradicate. A meeting between the crime boss and CSI Lieutenant raises more questions than it answers; Kerry believed her family had moved to a land of freedom and promise, but this experience leads her to question that liberty and seek answers to the disturbing things she witnessed.
