Description
Impulsive Detective “Duke” Wayne is stuck on admin leave from the LAPD, pushing papers across a desk. He desperately wants to rejoin Robbery-Homicide. When the Captain asks him to do a Field Investigation Report on an accidental death from bee stings, he thinks open and shut, this is my ticket back to the squad.
But he is teamed with Kelso Bagley, a methodical Special Agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who specializes in the study of insects. Kelso is sure this bee-sting incident is pre-meditated murder. He drags Duke out of his comfort zone on a wild ride through the world of beekeeping, sadistic insect fetishists and robotized farming to prove it. Their investigation uncovers a larger conspiracy at play and endangers the lives of loved ones, not to mention Duke’s career. Can Duke navigate this underground world of weaponized insects and come out alive?

LAPD Detective “Duke” Wayne is pulled out of his enforced leave to work with US Fish and Wildlife officer Kelso Bagley to investigate a death that may just be down to weaponised bees. Of course, Kelso is quick to come to the defence of the little black and yellow fliers and he can see that a bigger picture is emerging that has the stink of corporate corruption about it.
The threat to bees caused by mass housing projects and the dearth of hedgerows is well known but Kelso ropes us into his world and stands as a staunch defender of wildlife as a whole. Kelso is no geek though, as those that try to batter him into submission come to learn in double quick time. Teamed up with Duke, the twosome make for a fun pairing. The story itself is well imagined but it’s the bees that steal the show and quite right too. Dare I say it, but this was one sweet read.
