Where is Home? A Futuristic Thriller/Romance (ePub)

They met in the First Class Lounge at LaGuardia airport. Three days later he flew to Chicago to show her the sights; that night they became lovers. They had nothing in common: Aldis Morgenna, a bodyguard, had recently retired on a small pension; Kiera Hunt, an heiress, was a well-respected Swiss private investigator, and yet she trusted him to keep her innermost secret, as they felt destined for each other.

He accompanied her to Luzern, Switzerland, where Kiera's former legal guardian, Louis Schweitzer, had suffered a stroke, and stayed to console and support her after his death. When she left the next morning to help Schweitzer's family plan his funeral, she didn't link to Aldis as planned. He contacted Schweitzer's sons. They linked to a family friend, a local police inspector, who pinged her handheld device and tracked her to a warehouse, where Aldis and the inspector found her severely beaten by two officers of The Consortium, a global pharmaceutical giant, as revenge for losing a lawsuit to one of her clients.

Hounded by the media, Aldis suggested they retreat to his cottage on California's Monterey coast where Kiera could relax and recover from her injuries. They made plans to tour North America, but their vacation ended in Las Vegas. At a local jazz club, they encountered Frank Hanley, a Las Vegas police detective; he had seen the tabloids and knew about Kiera, and he and Aldis had crossed paths decades ago, when Aldis was a bouncer at the club. He asked for their help in solving the grotesque murder of an eccentric genius inventor of advanced AI humanoid women. Hired as temporary consultants to the LVPD, they found the murderers within a week-but that was only the beginning of what was to come.
