Computer hacker Tina Adler has been living under assumed names and off the grid for years. Many years ago, with the help of hacker "Tracker" she stole millions of dollars for one of her father's enemies. That man, Tony DeMarco, has never forgotten what she did.
Someone knows where she is and who she is. DeMarco was ambushed and shot .. and someone is framing Tina for that act.
In order to clear her name, she must join FBI Agent Zeke Chapman who's main job is to search out DeMarco's deepest secrets. And someone has put out a hit on both of them.
Not being computer savvy, I found this interesting and entertaining. I do think the author did a good job keeping computer language down to a level where I understood most of it. The characters are enjoyable and I liked the way they interacted. There is lots of suspense, as hackers work mostly behind the smokescreen of a computer ... and they are rarely who they seem to be. They all seem to be very secretive.
This is third in a series and does well as a stand alone. There is enough backstory that I didn't feel I was missing a whole lot. As always, I do recommend starting at the beginning just to pick up all those delicious details that make a good book even better.
Warning ... while there is a definite ending, there is also a huge cliff hanger.
