In this fourth adventure in the Deadly Odds cyberthriller series, reformed hacker Arnold Gold is plunged into a race against time when he's hired by a prestigious Seattle law firm to resolve a ransomware attack that threatens its very existence. But from the start, Arnold has ill-defined misgivings about his secretive, control-freak client, and suspects he's being used to cover up an inside job. But by who? And how far will the thief go to stay in the shadows?

The more he investigates, the more Arnold must walk a fine line between preserving his professional reputation and personal honor, especially when it becomes clear the thief is willing to move up to murder with Arnold Gold in the crosshairs.
