Scandal Brokers - Paperback

by Shadrack Antwi (Author)

In a techno-society where cyberspace is the conduit of life and business, connectivity and surveillance run hand in hand. When a popular star of a movie franchise is killed in a suspicious accident during the filming of a high-octane stunt scene, the police detective unit led by Lieutenant Beever must leverage the city's data surveillance capabilities and other resources to connect the drama-fueled relationships and events surrounding the movie star's death.

As the case takes them through the complex, connected layers of the corporate studio, the city, and the deceased movie star's life, the detectives' investigation finds them helping an actress from the movie franchise protect herself from another apparent accidental death. The detectives must also be mindful of a dangerous, growing type of market makers--scandal brokers. Beever and his homicide investigation team may soon experience that scandal brokering is more than just a competitor and disruptor of police evidence collecting.
