Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity! - “The Sounds of Science!”

Written by Brandon L. Joyner

Synopsis:

In this hard-boiled installment of Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, disgraced former FBI agent Jack Finger returns to the streets with a chip on his shoulder and a new partner he never asked for—Vera Cumming, sharp as a tack and twice as fast. Their mission? Track down a missing government scientist whose secretive work may be too powerful for anyone to control. As the mismatched duo navigate suspicious labs, cryptic journals, and a rival research facility shrouded in mystery, they uncover far more than a simple disappearance. Punches are thrown, disguises donned, and loyalties tested—all in the name of truth, justice, and a decent cup of coffee. But as the case deepens and shadows gather, Jack and Vera are forced to ask: “What exactly was Dr. Powell working on… and who would kill to keep it hidden?” Can two detectives crack the case before science turns sinister? Tune in now to find out!
