An ex-cyberthief is on the run from her past in an “electrifying” thriller by the author of Hidden: “an addictive page-turner with a stunner of a finale” (Kirkus Reviews).
For fifteen years, her name was Nicole Jones. Then her criminal past caught up to her. Now the brilliant computer hacker has reinvented herself once again, living as Susan McQueen on a remote island in Quebec, Canada. Susan lives a quiet life, but she hasn’t given up her computer. While in an online chatroom, she discovers she has a shadow. Someone’s hacked into her laptop—someone who knows who she is. Capable of watching her every move, they want a hefty payment in bitcoin not to make trouble.
Now Susan is on the run again. But from whom? Is it the FBI or someone associated with her criminal past? Making her way across the border and back to America won’t be easy. And as her shadow looms closer, Susan discovers just who—and what—she’s up against.
