Grey File
A driven agent gets pulled into a murky sea of politics and murder in the near future
In the near future, Agent Castor Bohr—one of the CDIB’s top murder investigators —finds himself embroiled in an investigation into the murder of a prominent military scientist.
Quickly, he’s fighting to match wits with an untraceable killer while trying to break in a new partner and navigate the growing political storm building around his case. But Bohr’s life is quickly imploding around him. Political forces have turned his past against him by using his ex-wife as a cat’s paw, even as his twin brother is fading with cancer. As the killer begins to accelerate his plans, Agent Bohr finds that the stakes have never been higher and that the jurisdictional power of his case may not be enough to bring this killer to justice.
Grey File is the first entry in Rob Bartley’s “Vengeance Dawning” series. This near-future murder mystery explores the bleeding edge of where the data of our connected world touches the darkest impulses of the human condition.
Written by the author of the “Sons of Texas” occult urban fantasy series, Grey File turns up the heat as the clock ticks, and the advance toward a larger conspiracy looms.
The IPPY nominated, Grey File has been Awarded the 2023 Spring Bookfest Silver Medal for “Sci-Fi - Crime & Mystery.

As a crafter of tales and a maker of mischief, Rob Bartley has lived a life of eclectic whimsy and bears the scars to prove it.
Always full of trivia, beer suggestions and a few off-color stories, he writes whatever interests him at the time and is generally best left to do as he pleases. If you meet his wife or one of his five sons, take pity on them for having a strange father is a heavy toll to pay.
If you meet him, then please say hello and offer him a beer. He’s at his most generous then and likely to think kindly of you for life.
