When X-hacker Charlie Riven is framed for a crime she didn't commit, she accepts help from an unlikely source--sexy Treasury Agent Elaine Harper.

Charlotte "Charlie" Riven is a former hacker working for Whitestone, a multibillion-dollar hedge fund. When someone modifies one of her programs to divert millions of dollars...somewhere...Charlie is first in line to take the fall for it. But something doesn't compute--she's being followed, her lines are tapped, and Treasury Agent Elaine Harper is investigating her--all for a simple theft?

It's not about the money--it's all about the biochemical agents still located on Plum Island, a megalomaniac with dreams of genetic superiority, and a race to stop the drop, patch the hole, and catch the mole--before it's way too late, for everyone.
