Private Investigator Sean King has been hired to look into the death of Monk Turing, a physicist whose body was found at a secret CIA Training Camp. Was it suicide or murder? Monk worked at a laboratory named Babbage Town, a private facility across the York River from the training camp. Sean moves into Babbage Town to interview Monk's co-workers and learn what he was working on before his death. With the help of his partner, Michelle Maxwell, Sean needs to uncover the truth of what is happening across the river.

This book started off with Michelle entering a mental hospital after nearly being killed in a barroom brawl. I enjoyed Michelle's conversations with her psychiatrist and the intrigues at the hospital. Sean's portion of the story started off well, but slowed down to a crawl in the middle of the book. Happily, when Michelle joins him in Babbage Town, the story picks up and gets hard to put down. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
