A Jack Rhodes Thriller

Computer forensic expert, Jack Rhodes, can't shake the guilt when his friend and San Francisco police officer, Ted Clark, dies from a bullet meant for him. When Ted's wife, Marie, is targeted in a dangerous insurance scam, Jack and his sometime lover, Stella West, uncover a dark web trail pointing to a ruthless kidnapping and ransom ring. The deeper they dig, the more one name keeps surfacing.

Victor Thornfield.
A cold blooded businessman, Victor is desperate to acquire Carlton Engineering, one of Stella's business interests. And when Danny Carlton, the owner's young son, is murdered, Jack has to ask: is this just about money, or is there a far more sinister secret buried in Victor's warehouse? Who else will be killed in Victor's attempt to hide the truth?

As Jack closes in, he'll need every ounce of his analytical strength and MMA fighting skills to survive.
