Enjoy the first ten chapters of Jillian Book II

John Parker was another anonymous employee working for one of the wealthiest corporations in the galaxy.  He killed himself and no one cares.  Except his family is convinced there is more to their son’s end than Hyalite Technology Corp is willing to admit.    

Junior detective Jillian Kahr accepts the assignment nobody wants.  She is dispatched to the crime scene at a secluded research-facility-turned-archeological dig.   After a decade extracting humanity-altering alien technology, the project is nearing its end.  Only a skeleton crew remains, and of those, most are fiercely loyal to their director and her insistence that the greatest secret is yet to be discovered.  

Detective Kahr’s investigation quickly becomes secondary as she battles the isolation of an untamed planet Tykhe with all her temperamental wildlife and weather, mixed with the colorful lot of suspects used to living outside the jurisdiction of the law.   Solving the case becomes secondary to surviving it.
