Fay Li is a woman who works in PR at Seaboard Power. Although she seems to be working for Grimaldi and Napier, in fact, her loyalties are more complicated, and she’s willing to sell out her partners and even get the nuclear plant shut down if it means she gets reward money. Li’s shifting loyalties reflect the double-crossing tropes of detective fiction, and they also embody the paranoia and confusion of the Cold War era.
