Jacob Knox is a government agent who finds the body of a famous female in his hotel room. He has no memory of last night. How did she die and why? Who did it?
Now Jacob is on the run because the police think he did it, so he flees. And so, we enter the world of crypto currency, where the stakes are high and money is the great motivator. Jacob has to investigate because he can't go down for a murder, even though he doesn't know what happened to her, or if he was part of it.
The world of crypto can also have a dark side, and everything can change in an instant. It all depends on the operator.
It begins with the murder, the frame- up , and a world where people can manipulate the lives of others. Let the chips fall...
The action is fast and the characters are complex and everybody has an agenda.
A good read.

If you’re a huge cyberpunk or cybercrime junkie this book is for YOU!

Jacob wakes up in a daze and realizes miss May Day, a techno pop and huge internet idol is dead in a hotel room they shared. The rest is for you to read about him. I don’t want to spoil. I will say the detective on the case comes off as annoying and a little out of it.

There is a bunch of cyber stuff that goes into this investigation. It’s a really great book! It’s a quick fun read! ALSO Knox is SUPER mysterious! I loved it!

A dead girl, an ex-government agent, and a trail of secrets. Jacob Knox is in up to his head. The Austin police want him for a murder he didn't commit. And if that wasn't bad enough, the murdered girl is an online celebrity! Good book! This book had suspense, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few great twists and turns! The story was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC. Firstly the format was hard to follow, and there is grammatical errors throughout. The book starts off with action right away and I really liked it at times. It instantly follows a murder and it’s filled with cyber talk and hacking with lots of action but I did find the detective Harris really annoying and out of touch. This universe is all about crypto currency it seems like and there’s but I pulled through and at times I really liked the action, I also really liked the character Knox and how mysterious he is as a character. This girl Mayday gets murdered at a hotel room and Knox is caught in the same room as her and he feels as if he’s being framed for it. We follow Knox as he tries to catch the real killer of May Devereaux aka Mayday for al of her followers and there so many interesting things that are packed into this story it’s not just police work there’s also futuristic like things going on all around Knox and the detectives that’s solving this case. This has been so fun to read and I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of stuff like cyberpunk or anything to do with cybercrimes!

Knox an ex government agent awakes to a dead woman in the room with him and he has no clue what happened. Now he is on the run and trying to figure out who actually killed her before he is caught. However that just leads to a much bigger issue being unraveled.

This had lots of action in it and tech talk at times a little too much for a regular reader here for the thrills and mystery. Though don’t get me wrong this was still really good and kept you engaged.
