YA
Having escaped his father's underground bunker, Eli (The Compound) begins to investigate some shady medical research done by the company he has just inherited. Bodeen excels at using complex, uneasy family dynamics to escalate the corporate and psychological intrigue, driving tensions higher as the story unfolds. Crisp, atmospheric first-person narration never wavers from Eli's blunt, anxious voice.
