Book Synopsis:
When materials engineer Zoey Butler lands her dream job at Future State Energy, she believes her research in renewable energy will make headlines. Unfortunately for her, she’s right. Zoey is working on her latest experiment when FBI Special Agent Alexis Thompson and her K-9 partner, Waffle, raid Future State and arrest the head of the development for fraud. Zoey helps the FBI find answers in the aftermath, but she soon finds herself jobless and unemployable. Desperate and out of options, she reaches out to Alexis, the one person who knows Zoey was duped like everyone else.
Liam Graham is an FBI special agent and instructor at Riverbend K-9 Academy. When Alexis brings in a new recruit with an unusual background, Liam pairs her up with Tasha, a dog in need of a handler to stay in their competitive program. Zoey is thrilled to put her past behind her and give the mischievous rescue dog her own second chance. However, shortly after she arrives, the FBI realizes the Future State case is far from closed. And Zoey may be the key to solving it.
Zoey offers to go back to Future State to help the FBI end things once and for all. Only this time, she’ll have Liam and Tasha for backup. But, the problems at Future State are more explosive than any of them suspect.
Extract:
Zoë Butler tapped her pen against her palm and frowned at the battery on the lab bench. Future State’s flagship solid-state batteries had failed to hit the targets promised in all of the glossy Future State brochures by a mile. No matter how many times she ran the performance tests.
Zoey’s brain knew the answer, but her heart couldn’t quite believe it. Her tests were accurate. The only logical solution was that the batteries weren’t measuring up to Future State’s claims. Someone, somewhere, had made a huge mistake.
A rumble of voices and shouts coming from outside the lab snapped Zoey out of her panic for a moment. A group of men and women in navy FBI jackets rushed through the front door shouting instructions. Suddenly, all of the data that didn’t add up fell into place. She only had time to feel a few seconds of crushing disappointment before a women with a red Labrador retriever entered the lab and told Zoey to step away from the lab bench. Zoey placed her hands on her head while the dog searched the room, tale wagging despite the stress and noise filling the air. Dread settled in the pit of her stomach. Everything she’d been working towards had been a lie.
