Terror in Northern California

Love, murder, and cyberterrorism in Northern California. When bodies start to drop, no one is safe.

Jane Anders is a middle-aged professional woman reevaluating her life after a long marriage to Cecil Anders, a hardware engineer, and architect, with his own firm.

Cecil is trying to finish a huge technical center that he has helped design, and build when everything goes wrong. He suspects his designs are not being followed, and his partners in the firm are not all they seem to be.

Suddenly, a suspicious death takes place and the FBI becomes involved.

Meanwhile, the technical center is completed and begins to cultivate workers who will do anything to develop new computer applications for the thrill of the game and the pleasure of being the “disrupters”. Jane discovers that old blueprints contain certain codes for the software to help build a worldwide terrorist organization capable of bringing down banks, militaries, utilities, or anything else driven by computer code through hacking and disruption.

When a new romance turns out to help solve all of the crimes, Jane finds out that she is far stronger than she thought.
