A Black Hat Thriller
5 primary works
Book 1
Nicole Jones lives off the grid. She doesn't have a driver's license, passport, or even a bank account. She definitely doesn't own a computer. Operating bike tours on Block Island, she hasn't left her New England refuge in fifteen years. But it's not that she's afraid of the world. She's afraid of what she could do to it if she ever plugged back in. Because Nicole Jones isn't her real name. Still wanted by the FBI, she was once one of the best cyberthieves in the business.
When the last person Nicole wants to see suddenly appears on the island, using a name he knows will draw her out, Nicole realizes that no one can hide forever-not even her. As her secret past comes to light and her carefully-constructed life starts to unravel, Nicole's long-time haven becomes a prison, and her only chance for survival is hacking her way out.
Book 1
Nicole Jones - if that is her real name - lives off the grid. She doesn't have a licence, passport or bank account. She definitely doesn't own a computer. She hasn't left her refuge, Block Island, in fifteen years. She's hidden from the world and she likes it that way. Nicole doesn't use a computer, not because she's afraid of it, but because she's afraid of what she - a badass hacker in her past life - would do with it.
When the last person Nicole wants to see suddenly reappears, using a name he knows will draw her out, Nicole realizes that her time hidden is now ending. Her past secrets tumbling into the open and her carefully-constructed new life set to fall apart, Nicole must re-hone her long-suppressed computer skills in order to escape from an island that is no longer a haven, but suddenly a prison.
