About the Book
An act of domestic terrorism during a cultural parade in downtown D.C. inflicts multiple casualties, including the life of a young Congressman, and law enforcement agencies are quick to conclude it was carried out by a mentally ill lone wolf manipulated by a chatbot.
Executive protection specialist Yemi Uzunma survives the attack and suspects it may be connected to an online prediction market widely thought to have been shut down called the Bazaar. He launches his own investigation into a mysterious, ideologically motivated assassination broker not only for the safety of his CEO sister’s clientele at Raptor Security but also for the preservation of order in a region facing a sudden spike in violence directed toward the power elite who call it home.
Shifta is the second book in the Bazaar series of novels that follows the security contractor Raptor as it deals with the ramifications the prediction market has on the political celebrities of the capital region.
