POINTLESS - THE FIRST BOOK IN THE REVENGE, UNHINGED SERIES! Poison-laced bottles of water are sent to three states in the U.S Southwest. A bottling plant employee is killed in a questionable traffic accident. The first illnesses - and the initial death - surface, and the FBI takes over the cases. Just as the perps planned. The agent in charge is assassinated, and Senior Special Agent Kari Dineh, a rising star, is put in charge. She's encouraged to include a former agent, a felon she helped drive out of the agency years earlier, as an advisor. The case immediately takes on political overtones, spurred by poems sent by the perps, opportunistic pundits rallying pro- and anti-FBI supporters, and aggressive media reporting. Violence erupts and cities burn. Dineh, a brilliant investigator, at first struggles with her new role, as memories of misogyny and Indigenous prejudice resurface. But she overcomes them, ultimately figuring out the real intentions of the criminal group behind the crimes. However, the U.S.'s 50-50 split on the rule of law is above her pay grade. REVENGE IS A RATIONALIZATION, NOT A MOTIVATION.
