About This Book
Conspiracies, political cover-ups, acts of terrorism… As one of the first cyborgs employed by the federal government, Agent Rachel Peng thought 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 applyâ€"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.

Reviews for the Rachel Peng novels:
“And after spending the length of the novel with her, I'm eager to pick up the next one to see what's next for Rachel Peng†(io9)
“If I have any regrets about Rachel Peng, it's that we're unlikely to ever see her front and center on a multiplex screen, cracking wise before she shoots somebody's kneecaps off. And we should. Rachel Peng is a bad-ass for the digital age.†(New York Times bestselling author, Seanan McGuire)
