How do you solve a murder when there are 42,000 suspects?That's the task facing Chicago PI Georgia Davis, hired to hunt down those ultimately responsible for the assassination of Resistance leader Dena Baldwin at a demonstration fourteen months after the 2016 election. The gunman, on a nearby hotel rooftop, dies within minutes of the shooting. As Georgia sifts through Dena's 42,000 Facebook followers, she discovers that unknown enemies hiding behind fake profiles have infiltrated the group. She finds others who will do whatever it takes--including murder--to shield right-wing, wealthy elites. When Georgia begins piecing together the facts, relatives of both victims mysteriously disappear, and the danger escalates. Threats and bruises have never frightened Georgia, but she's side-swiped by the sudden reappearance of the mother who abandoned her when she was a child. Can she survive an emotional family crisis at the same time she pursues killers whose only goal is to protect themselves?

House in Need of Mooring pulls back the curtain on our natural surroundings and reminds the reader just what is at stake if we destroy our home. To surrender to this book is to face that naked certainty and be moved to action and recognition, and inside its covers, one need only to "grab the mane, straddle the beast & ride." (Keith Flynn); Bernardin is a master of the startling, transformative image. House in Need of Mooring, "a primeval festival of gathering," grows from a life interwoven with nature, its wisdom earned from the poet's unflinching observations. (Ashley Mace Havird); These poems by Libby Bernardin are keenly sensitive to nature. They also embody the losses, fears, sorrows, loves, and simple pleasures of life lived deeply-a quiet mind seeing, and yes, reflecting, but never looking away from what has gone so wrong and so right in these times. (Jim Peterson)
