A gripping new stand-alone thriller from the world's bestselling thriller writer
__________________________
A young tech genius is offered an opportunity that could change her life . . . or end it.

When Angela Hoot is kicked off her graduate programme at MIT for hacking into the computer of a fellow student, she fears she's blown her chances of a glittering career.

Angela is wrong: instead, she's offered a dream internship with the FBI. She jumps at the chance, and is thrown straight into her first case at a house in the Boston suburbs where a family of five have been brutally murdered.

As Angela struggles to come to terms with the harsh reality of her new job, a phone is found that could hold the secrets of this mass murder - if Angela is able to uncover them.

I really enjoyed this book, it kept my interest (I tend to wander) and I love the digital-coding side of the FBI, I really hope there is more to come from Angela, Billy and Eve. fingers crossed.

Another great read. So many twists and turns but still believable. Wonder if this is a stand alone or the beginning of a new series. Thank you.

Loved this from start to finish! Not too long but gives you ample time to warm to the characters and enjoy the story. Brittany Pressley is flawless (as per!) she’ll forever be one of my favourite narrators.

Fast passes with twists, turns and humour!

Okay book, nothing more - not really credible. Will not bother with any follow up though

Clearly not written by James Patterson, just another book churned out under his name

Too far fetched
