A brutal rape and murder. A robbery and bullet to the
head. An apparent suicide. Three victims, three different
states, and three apparently unrelated cases. But when
Boulder math professor Jayne Smyers discovers each victim
had been researching the geometric shapes know as fractals,
she knows it was not coincidence.
After federal agents fail to link the deaths, Jayne
hires Nederland private eye Pepper Keane - former JAG
with a Diet Coke® addiction, an encyclopedic knowledge
of rock'n roll, and a trace of existential angst. As
Pepper tenaciously follows leads, the suspects multiply.
Follow Pepper Keane in a fast-paced adventure that traverses
mathematics, economics, and philosophy. Sometimes violent,
sometimes hilarious, The Fractal Murders is an original
mystery with an ending that sneaks up from behind and
grabs you by the throat.
