Shifta

Bazaar: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

An assassination market triggers a war in the streets between the political elite and the public.

An act of domestic terrorism during a cultural parade in downtown D.C. inflicts multiple casualties, including the life of a young Congressman, and law enforcement agencies are quick to conclude it was carried out by a mentally ill lone wolf manipulated by a chatbot.

Executive protection specialist Yemi Uzunma survives the attack and suspects it may be connected to an online prediction market widely thought to have been shut down called the Bazaar. He launches his own investigation into a mysterious, ideologically motivated assassination broker not only for the safety of his CEO sister's clientele at Raptor Security but also for the preservation of order in a region facing a sudden spike in violence directed toward the power elite who call it home.

Shifta is the second book in the Bazaar series of novels that follows the security contractor Raptor as it deals with the ramifications the prediction market has on the political celebrities of the capital region.

Author

A lifelong fiction writer, Miles turned to penning novels after nearly a decade editing television in the D.C. area for platforms including NBC Sports Washington, theGrio, and the Federal Network. He has had an obsession with the effects technology has on society since being raised by a father who was a computer programmer and a mother who worked as a labor organizer. He still pursues filmmaking in between books and finds that writing in the technothriller genre only enhances that passion even more. Miles is an active member of International Thriller Writers where his first book, Bazaar, was selected for their Debut Authors Program. He attends monthly meetings for the writers' group, Novels in Progress DC.
