About the book

Jason Archer, a high-level executive at a technology firm, vanishes after the plane he was scheduled to board crashes into the Atlantic with no survivors. His wife, Sidney Archer, soon discovers that Jason was embroiled in a scheme involving corporate espionage and the theft of proprietary data. As she investigates his disappearance, she becomes the target of a ruthless assassin and catches the attention of FBI agent Lee Adams. The plot centers on a massive financial conspiracy, digital tracking, and the manipulation of global markets through advanced computing.

This story serves fans of technological thrillers and corporate intrigue who prioritize complex plotting over simple action. Readers gain a detailed look at the intersection of high finance and emerging federal law enforcement techniques from the mid-1990s. The narrative provides an analysis of how data security and corporate greed can destroy individual lives. Those who enjoy tracing a paper trail through layers of institutional corruption will find a methodical breakdown of how power operates behind closed doors.
