5 star winner Readers Choice book awards
Electrical engineering student Samantha Holzen spends her days studying cybersecurity and her nights pushing technology beyond its limits. When an internet scan uncovers a hidden database belonging to a powerful extortion organization, she stumbles onto something far more dangerous than a routine security failure.
The database contains years of secrets, stolen identities, blackmail operations, and enough evidence to destroy a criminal empire.
Then attackers target FBI agents investigating the case, proving the organization will eliminate anyone who threatens its operation.
After the pandemic takes her family, Sam struggles to find purpose and a path forward. But she can't ignore the victims hidden within the data. When she decides to act, everything changes.
Every discovery exposes more corruption, more victims, and more reasons for the organization to hunt her down. As the attacks escalate, Sam must decide who she can trust—and whether the FBI is pursuing the same enemy or hiding secrets of its own.
Armed with exceptional hacking skills and a lifetime of training that taught her never to back down, Sam uncovers pieces of the organization that law enforcement could never find. She becomes the threat they never expected.
Unconventional and relentless, she strikes back the only way she knows how: by stealing their money and using it against them.
Now the organization faces a dangerous choice. If they leave her alone, she may expose them. If they come after her, they risk revealing themselves.
Sam has made her decision. She will bring them down—or die trying.
