Grey File

In the near future, Agent Castor Bohr—one of the CDIB’s top murder investigators —finds himself embroiled in an investigation into the murder of a prominent military scientist. Quickly, he’s fighting to match wits with an untraceable killer while trying to break in a new partner and navigate the growing political storm building around his case. But Bohr’s life is quickly imploding around him. Political forces have turned his past against him by using his ex-wife as a cat’s paw, even as his twin brother is fading with cancer. As the killer begins to accelerate his plans, Agent Bohr finds that the stakes have never been higher and that the jurisdictional power of his case may not be enough to bring this killer to justice. Grey File is the first entry in Rob Bartley’s “Vengeance Dawning” series. This near-future murder mystery explores the bleeding edge of where the data of our connected world touches the darkest impulses of the human condition.
