- 52 ratings
- 185 pages
Overall Content Rating: Parents Strongly Cautioned PG-13
The story centers on investigators and corporate intrigue, with tense scenes at a bar where bikers confront a character and someone is stabbed and bleeding. Parents should know violence is present but not drawn out as graphic torture or gore throughout. Language includes mild insults and informal crude expressions scattered in dialogue. Statutory rape is discussed as a legal and moral issue rather than shown explicitly. A character discloses that she is a lesbian. There is no heavy profanity or racial slurs in the sampled material; matched terms for mild swearing either refer to other meanings or proper names rather than cursing.
