THE LAST RESORT Jen Lu, Book 2

In 2034 Washington, Detective Jen Lu returns with her bio-implanted assistant, Chandler, to solve a murder involving a political smoking gun, a 1968 research paper on climate change that has the energy industry up in arms. Joe Sanfelippo portrays Chandler and his humorous robotic interpretation of Jen's every thought and emotion. He also provides an emotionless interpretation of other characters' motives and frailties. Natalie Naudus provides additional context from Jen's perspective as she is stymied by shady actors who are intent on shutting down her investigation. While both performers help build the mounting tension, Sanfelippo steals the show. This is a sophisticated futuristic mystery woven with today's politics.
