The Morpheus Decision

Pia Sabel's friend Chloe England, whom she knew from her days in international soccer and who became a British constable, has been murdered. Pia travels to rural England to mourn her and ends up uncovering an assassination ring that serves the ultra-rich, which puts her squarely in its crosshairs.

Pia has spent most of her life working through the pain of losing her parents, throwing herself into her job, and living with insomnia. Her doctor now warns that growing paranoia will soon threaten her mental health. In England she is attacked by a mob, brushed off by officials, and mocked by high society for asking about an English Lord and a British institute. The more people tell her to stop asking questions, the more she wonders about their motives.

Unconquered and unafraid, she investigates the killing and exposes a well-connected web of billionaire suspects. Along the way she touches a nerve, and killers descend on her. She cannot trust anyone, from the handsome Scot she would like to know better to Britain's titled class, and she must unravel the clues before more victims turn up in the morgue. Beneath the deceit, lies, and cover-ups lies the truth about who killed Chloe England, and learning it could endanger everyone Pia loves.

The Morpheus Decision is part of Seeley James's Sabel Security series.
