All the Whys of Delilah's Demise

Social dystopia meets traditional mystery in this standalone page-turner driven by a female protagonist. When New Seattle's most popular resident--charismatic Delilah--takes a tumble off her balcony, the blame for the seeming accident lands on nineteen-year-old Scottie. More interested in finding out who her parents were than searching for a brand, Scottie's already scraping the bottom of the town popularity list. This will send her toward the very last spot--which brings a short ride out into the frozen wasteland that surrounds the dome of New Seattle. While the town's social stars scuffle for the open spot at the top, Scottie, aided by her "Watson," the personal assistant her brain chip provides, scrambles to save herself and find the real culprit. What she unearths will shake the very foundation of her world...and place her squarely in the crosshairs of a shadowy killer intent on clearing a path to number one. A murder mystery set in a dystopian future, All the Whys of Delilah's Demise asks the ultimate question: How far are any of us willing to go to be liked? *** KEYWORDS: dystopia, mystery, science fiction, scifi heroine, scifi standalone, near-future scifi, social satire, for fans of Black Mirror, science fiction mystery, dystopian novels, people brands, genetic engineering, neural implants, female sleuth
