Nearly a year has passed since the Office of Adaptive and Complementary Enhancement Technologies went public. Agent Rachel Peng has adapted to her new life as the cyborg liaison to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police, but for Peng and her team, murder is usually just the beginning. This time, the body is found in the unlikeliest of places, and the race to recover a stolen piece of antiquity will put Rachel and her team against one of the country's most powerful political figures. ____________________________________ 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)

K.B. Spangler
Author · 12 books

K.B. Spangler lives in North Carolina with her husband and two completely awful dogs. They live in the decaying house of a dead poet. She is the author and artist of the webcomic, "A Girl and Her Fed," and author of novels and short stories. All projects include themes of privacy, politics, technology, civil liberties, the human experience, and how the lines between these blur like the dickens. If you enjoy mysteries, you want to read the RACHEL PENG books. If you enjoy fantasy adventures, thrillers, and necromancers with ADHD, you want to read the HOPE BLACKWELL books. If you enjoy sexy romances with sexy people who solve unsexy crimes, you want to read the JOSH GLASSMAN books. And if you enjoy coming-of-age stories with intergalactic intelligences, you want to read STONESKIN.
