From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman, comes a gripping techno-thriller, part of a multi-author series tied together by an interlocking cast of characters, all centered around the fantastic new promise of high technology and the endless possibilities for crime that technology offers, in a world where getting away with murder can be not only plausible, but easy…if you just know how..… know how..
Micah lived a quiet, comfortable life, her involvement in law enforcement limited to the composite pictures that she produced with her computer and colored pencils.
But everything is turned upside down when she involves herself in the case of an infant found abandoned in the Sweetgrass Hills.
With the help of her knowledge of DNA and law enforcement contacts across the country, Micah is closing in on a killer. But her investigation draws the killer’s attention, and she finds herself in the middle of an operation that could mean the end of her career—or worse, her life.

More fun and techno-stuff from this technically savvy series! P.D. Workman does lots of character development with her main protagonist, so if she does a follow-up book with this female sleuth, you’ll be ready. Dive into an interesting DNA subject with this third book in the series.
I am another author in the multi-author series (Book 8). I do not personally know the author, but I will be reading all of these “Virtually” books because high-tech crime is a super genre!
This was an excellent story. All of the information about genetics and DNA was fascinating. Not only was I entertained, but I learned a great deal in the process. Not a dull page in the entire book. I highly recommend it.
I enjoyed this fascinating story with Micah drawing faces from the info in DNA, a new concept for me. The suspense was riveting and kept me turning page after page waiting to see how she would cope with the attacks. Wonderful characters and settings. I love P.D. Workman’s writing style which is easy to read yet complex in plot. Thanks for an absolutely thrilling read.
Allow most of a day for this PG15 procedural which uses Forensic DNA Phenotyping to identify a baby girl abandoned in the Sweetgrass Hills of Montana. I had an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
A definite must read!! Ms. Workman has the ability to take technology, controversial topics, and everyday life, and weave them into a story that you don’t want to put down but also want to savor every word!!! How does she do it?!!!!!! She makes everything relevant.
In this book, she makes a comment about how technology is outpacing the laws and trying to protect your information is getting to be impossible. This is a real fear for me. We are giving up too much of our privacy.
INVIVISLE HOMELESS: hits gut and the heart, but necessarily the way it is in the book. I see it with us female veterans. With her permission, I am co-opting this term.
I am always amazed at how she combines her topics into a story. There are times she make me want to growl, and other times, I am amazed at the knowledge or research that she has put into her books. I learn something new with every book.
I am so glad that I found this author. I am having trouble trying to express what how much she draws me into her books – all of them.
This my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
Awesome techno-thriller for fans of CSI, Forensic Files…
P. D. Workman has outdone herself with this riveting techno-thriller featuring Micah Miller, a forensic artist specializing in composite renderings based on forensic DNA phenotyping. Micah has the ability to take genetic information found in a person’s DNA and use it to reliably predict what a suspect looks like. During the course of her career, her talented hands have produced accurate composite sketches which have facilitated in the apprehension of numerous violent offenders by law enforcement but when an abandoned infant is found, Micah must use all her knowledge and her amazing skillset to help identify the parents of this infant as well as to dismantle an established sex trafficking ring. As it turns out, there are some powerful and influential people involved in this business who find Micah somewhat meddlesome and Micah, herself, becomes a target. This book offers plenty of thrills, chills, suspense and white-knuckled tension as the plot unfolds and it kept me turning pages until late into the night. The story is clean and well-written, the plot is fascinating, the pace is relentless and the characters are realistic and relatable. I highly recommend this absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable thriller to anyone who favors CSI, NCIS, Cold Case, Forensic Files or any high-tech inspired crime-solving theme.
I was provided with an advance copy of this book by the author and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.
