Author Description

William Stinson is considered the stuff of legend in the international hacking community, and his employment with the CIA is a closely guarded secret. He lives a secluded life, but on this day, he is enjoying a coffee on a quiet patio at the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Stephanie Borden is a high-priced international consultant who had been called to a meeting with Senator Michael Glenway to discuss the recent disappearance of the whistleblower who was preparing to break his silence. He had documented an active threat against the US that employed a strategy that most could barely comprehend. Borden and Glenway met on a patio at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, right next to a man sitting alone, quietly reading a book. Neither Stinson nor Borden realized what had happened as the first bullet struck the senator. However, there was no doubt when the second bullet ended the senator’s life. And in that moment, Stinson and Borden were thrown together in a race to not only save their own lives but to unravel a conspiracy that would start in a tavern in Oxford, England, make its way through the streets of Paris, France, and then finally cut a path down the muddy waters of the Mississippi to Louisiana. Stinson is accustomed to the insidious nature of those who plan and execute these types of crimes. However, for Borden, the evil she must face as they unravel this mystery threatens to drag her into a darkness she may be incapable of returning from. And time is running out.
