Author Michael Kaufman discusses the first two books in his Jen Lu mystery series—The Last Exit and The Last Resort. Set in Washington, D.C. about ten years in the future, this series of political thrillers features two main characters, Detective Jen Lu and a sentient bio-computer named Chandler, who happens to be implanted in Jen Lu’s brain. Jen and Chandler come up against global conspiracies, political intrigue, the development of longevity treatments (both legal and black market), and a global climate crisis that is having dangerous and deadly consequences.
