A bomb goes off in a brothel staffed by robots. Agent Daniel Madsen must find the bomber before he strikes again. Could it be the Christian Far Right? He is armed with the latest technology: a foolproof lie detector and cameras and computers which seem to cover every inch of the USA. Set in 2019 this is a very believable page-turner in which sex, religion and money collide.
