Blood on the Synthetics: A Sector Four Mystery

About this book

In the subterranean agricultural bunker of Sector Four, the year 2145 is defined by strict rationing, toxic surface radiation, and a surprisingly tight-knit community that finds comfort in synthetic bake-offs and neighborhood gossip. Silas Abernathy is a gruff, aging hydroponic farmer who just wants to tend his tomatoes in peace. But when the beloved local baker is found gruesomely murdered in the communal water recycler, the authoritarian Enforcers try to sweep it under the rug as a mechanical accident. Pushed by his protective neighbors, Silas reluctantly steps into the role of amateur sleuth. As he digs beneath the cozy facade of his small town, he uncovers a massive resource-smuggling conspiracy that threatens their very survival. With the help of the town's fiercely loyal mechanic and an overeager greenhouse assistant, Silas must navigate violent black-market dealers, deadly cover-ups, and the ruthless Enforcer Commander to protect the only home they have left.
