About the book

Jack and Gabe are a husband-and-wife team of professional pen-testers hired by companies to hack security systems and physically breach office buildings. After a routine assignment goes wrong, Jack returns home to find Gabe murdered. When the police name her the primary suspect, she becomes a fugitive. Jack utilizes her technical expertise and physical bypass skills to evade a massive manhunt across London while attempting to track down the real killer. The narrative focuses on her survival tactics, use of burner phones, and the exploitation of digital vulnerabilities to stay ahead of the authorities.

Technologists and fans of high-stakes chase novels read this book for its realistic depiction of cybersecurity and social engineering. It appeals to those who enjoy technical procedural details integrated into a fast-paced thriller. Readers walk away with an understanding of how security professionals exploit human error and hardware weaknesses. The story provides a perspective on how digital footprints make disappearing in the modern world nearly impossible, offering a tense look at the mechanics of contemporary surveillance and evasion.
