Description
In a murdered woman’s email, Ted Hara discovers terrorist plans.
When Ted hacks into the email of a murdered friend, he’s shocked by what he finds—the last email she opened before she was killed warned of a terrorist attack. But without her password, Ted is unable to open the plans.
The murdered woman, Joy Miyazaki, is the daughter of the congressman from Silicon Valley. Although the police claim her murder was a botched home invasion robbery, Ted is certain her death is connected to the terrorist warning. But when brings the evidence to the police, they accuse him of murdering Joy himself.
Enlisting the public's help to attempt to crack the password, his software churns through billions of combinations in a race against time. But when a pair of Joy’s colleagues hint that Joy’s boyfriend is one of the terrorists, it leads Ted into a deep conspiracy that could shake the government to its core.
The clock is ticking. Can Ted decrypt the plans before the bombs begin exploding?
