Strike A Match
2019: The AIs went to war. They spread throughout the world, infecting every networked circuit. Millions died in the nuclear holocaust that brought an abrupt end to the AI’s brief reign of terror. Billions more succumbed to radiation, famine, and disease. But millions survived, and they rebuilt.

1. Serious Crimes
2039: A ceremony is being held to mark the first transatlantic broadcast since The Blackout. The British Prime Minister and two of the Presidents of the United States will speak to an audience of nearly ten million people. Not all are celebrating. Crime is on the rise, and power is once again a prize worth murdering for.

To escape a life of farming, Ruth Deering lied about her age to join the police. Her hopes of seeing the world were dashed when she’s assigned to the Serious Crimes Unit, commanded by the disgraced Sergeant Mitchell. Her first case seems like a simple murder, but the investigation uncovers a counterfeiting ring and a conspiracy that threatens to destroy their fragile democracy.

5. Thin Ice With a stalemate on the frozen frontlines in France, minds in Britain turn towards peace. But when the outlawed members of the Loyal Brigade begin a campaign of arson and terror, the Serious Crimes Unit must crack their code before someone is killed.
