The Murder Bureau

Lydia Merriman, the highly successful Turner Broadcasting System executive has returned to New York after developing media for the growing African-American business and professional communities that began in Atlanta over twenty-five years ago. Lydia, a brilliant and beautiful African-American relocated to New York, her home town, in order to support her belief that the science of Epigenetics indicated that the slave experience left a genetic imprint on black Americans generation after generation right up to the present time. And that imprint accounts for some of the major social issues that have notoriously weakeed black families. After successfully collecting major financial support for Epigentics research, and then establishing a lab at Columbia University, Lydia entered politics. In 2018 she was elected to the U. S. Congress as the Representative of New York's Hudson Valley Congressional District. During her second term, the post-vulgar Trump era, the new President asks Lydia to help purge the still active pro-Trump fascist, racist and nativist elements from the nation. She joins the small ultra-secret group that has awsome power to reinstate the country's soul by eliminating those who conspire to end democracy but cannot be meaningfully dealt with by the legal system. The un-named group in Lydia's mind is thought of as The Murder Bureau.
