Breanna Deacon got lucky; the apocalypse has a way of upsetting investigations into political corruption. The governor got to keep her seat when her state ceased to exist, but the reprieve only lasts while the evidence against her moulders in an abandoned FBI field office. A biomedical corporation is making plans for the reclamation; they want to get impeachment proceedings rolling while they can still get a stooge appointed without an election. It’s up to a group of Takers out of Telluride to dig up dirt on the politician, but when the dead won’t stay buried, digging is dangerous work.
