The first of the Athena Force stories this spends most of the story setting up the entire background for the series. Interesting concept. The heroine Alex(andra) Forsyth is an FBI forensic scientist and she is forced out of her assumption that her past was straightforward when one of her fellow classmates and fellow Cassandra, turns up dead. It could be an accident but that doesn't sit well with Alex, particularly when someone else seems to be looking into it too. ( )
