Reporter Alex Bernier expects another ordinary assignment covering a protest over genetically engineered crops at Benson University. Instead, she finds herself caught in the middle of a murder investigation when a prominent scientist is killed and an imprisoned woman insists she has been wrongly convicted of another crime. As Alex digs deeper, she uncovers a web of academic rivalries, environmental activism, political agendas, and dangerous secrets. Each discovery brings her closer to the truth—and closer to becoming the killer’s next target. Combining humor, fast-paced suspense, and sharp newsroom dialogue, Bad Seed delivers an entertaining mystery with timely themes.
