Breakfast of Scorpions
(2023)(The fifth book in the Jena Halpern Mystery series)
A novel by Michael Allan Scott
You don’t know what you don’t know... until you read Breakfast of Scorpions, a seat-of-your-pants Crime Thriller.
Posing as Egyptian arms dealers, two CIA field operatives disappear during a Russian military weapons expo. Jena knew them.
On loan to the CIA, a computer coder stumbles on a bug in an autonomous subroutine—a big bug, a Frankenbug. He panics when he bumps into Jena.
“Just wanted to say, the wait was so worth it! Dang. I read it in one night, the night before Nvidia stock spiked…” – a Jena Halpern fan.
A Latina anchorwoman reads from a teleprompter. “…terrorist attack in Las Vegas.”
Images bloom behind Jena’s eyes: a red cross-trainer on a severed foot, an empty dog collar, a backpack blown apart, its contents scattering in the wind.
“The Boeing 737, AlaskaAir, flight 18J-8546, exploded on approach…,” the anchorwoman says.
“It wasn’t terrorists,” Jena whispers.
You won’t dare to look away. An intriguing new read for fans of Dean Koontz, William Gibson,and David Baldacci.
This book contains No AI content, guaranteed. Handmade by a real human being.
Will Jena put the pieces together? Or is she already dead?
Eyes in the sky, she sees. Head in the clouds, she searches. Feet on the ground, she answers the call—Jena Halpern, the reluctant crime consultant.
Genre: Mystery
