The Invasive Species — Frankie Bow

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. 

On the way to interviewing a local farmer, Professor Molly stumbles onto a dismembered body in a field of genetically modified papayas. Molly is sure the murder has nothing to do with her new research project...until a second gruesome death rocks Mahina's tight farming community, and Molly's administration drops her research like a hot potato. If Molly can't root out the bad apples, not only will her tenure case go pear-shaped...she might end up pushing up daisies.

The Invasive Species is for mystery lovers, disillusioned academics, and anyone who feels like a transplant.
