A Perfect Shell

Om boken

A dead woman, an enigmatic stranger, family secrets, and a corporate cover up: Brighton Eventide’s well-ordered life hasn’t prepared her for any of this.

Almost thirty and a model twenty-second-century citizen, Brighton has spent all her life within the confines of Citydome. The Corporation, known affectionately as Uncle Sal, provides all she needs and protects Brighton and her fellow citizens from the devastated, hostile environment Outside.

Brighton hopes that one day Outside will be habitable again. She longs to experience the wild beauty that filled her grandparents’ stories of life before the domes. While she waits for ‘one day’, she trusts Uncle Sal to uphold its motto of ‘Protect. Preserve. Provide.’ But when Brighton stumbles across a dead woman and meets the mysterious Tom, she starts a chain of events that rips her world apart.

Brighton begins to question all she has been told and is drawn into an unfamiliar and unpredictable world, not knowing who to trust or believe. As her faith in Uncle Sal erodes and the certainties she relies on crumble, Brighton fears she is running out of time to uncover the truth.

Then she makes a discovery that could change everything.
