Duplicate Effort by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

I love these Retrieval Artist books by Rusch. I'm always glad when a new one comes out. I had this to enjoy after a big snow storm and a wonderully lazy weekend. My laundry was done, it wasn't my turn to cook and the weather was just right for reading with a nice cup of coffee to hand. Heavenly!
Miles Flint wants to bring down the big law firm of Wagner, Stuart, and Xendor so he's working with Ki Bowles, a journalist who he hates. He's backing her investigation and feeding her information he's acquired on the firm. Then Ki is murdered in an area where she should have been safe and guarded. At the same time, Miles is having to deal with his thirteen-year-old daughter, Talia, who wants to search for her siblings - the other five clones that Miles' former wife had made of their daughter just before she was shaken to death at a daycare. Now Miles will realize how much his daughter is going to make him look at things with a regard for her safety. The enemy will know that she is his weak link.
Told from several points of view, this is a twisting path to follow, but worth it. Now where will our author take us next?
