Description
A dead girl, an ex-government agent, and a trail of secrets.
Jacob Knox is in up to his head. The Austin police want him for a murder he didn't commit. And if that wasn't bad enough, the murdered girl is an online celebrity.
Weaving his way in and out of the police's dragnet, Knox must find a way to catch the real killer. But it won't be easy.
These are highly sophisticated cybercriminals who know how to cover their tracks. Good thing Knox is a skilled operative himself.
Following Knox's tail is Detective Harris, an old hand from the APD who is feeling the world slipping away from him. Within the myriad twists and turns of criminals hiding in the cracks of crypto culture, he must rely on good old intuition if he wants to catch the killer.
But why did the girl have to die? And is there something much bigger behind all of this?
This cyberthriller brings the art of murder into a new era where crime, code, money, and blood all run down the same gutter.

Knox an ex government agent awakes to a dead woman in the room with him and he has no clue what happened. Now he is on the run and trying to figure out who actually killed her before he is caught. However that just leads to a much bigger issue being unraveled.
This had lots of action in it and tech talk at times a little too much for a regular reader here for the thrills and mystery. Though don’t get me wrong this was still really good and kept you engaged.

If you’re a huge cyberpunk or cybercrime junkie this book is for YOU!
Jacob wakes up in a daze and realizes miss May Day, a techno pop and huge internet idol is dead in a hotel room they shared. The rest is for you to read about him. I don’t want to spoil. I will say the detective on the case comes off as annoying and a little out of it.
There is a bunch of cyber stuff that goes into this investigation. It’s a really great book! It’s a quick fun read! ALSO Knox is SUPER mysterious! I loved it!
