Morgan O'Brien Mystery

It seems like a plum assignment to Morgan O'Brien. A government investigator specializing in science fraud, O'Brien snatches the opportunity to travel to her former home in Vancouver for what appears to be a simple case: the investigation of a fisheries researcher suspected of siphoning funds for his own use. But once in Vancouver things get complicated, and it becomes clear that more than money is involved. O'Brien uncovers a ruthless offshore fishing conglomerate with a plan to gain unrestricted access to one of the world's most lucrative fisheries: the Fraser River sockeye. But who is the linchpin? As the investigation heats up, Morgan is distracted by ghosts from the past that force her to question a powerful friendship and confront her own ambiguous sexuality.

A Canadian astronomer commits suicide on a desolate mountain peak in Hawaii, and Morgan O'Brien is sent to the observatory to find his missing data. But it seems she's not the only one who needs those notebooks, and her competitor is willing to kill to get them. But why? To find the answer, Morgan travels from the peak of Mauna Kea deep into Ottawa's past, where the darkness of the Cold War still obscures the truth.

Presenting the first two novels of the Morgan O'Brien series by Alex Brett, in a definitive eBook bundle. Morgan is a government investigator specializing in science fraud, an occupation with both its hazards and its challenges. In Dead Water Creek, Morgan travels to Vancouver to investigate crimes in the unlikely but big-money arena of fisheries research. In Cold Dark Matter she goes to Hawaii to uncover astronomical secrets dating back to the Cold War. Brett's series stands alone in its distinct combination of science and suspense.
