Harper Lee Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author James
Grippando returns with a bold new thriller that asks at what price
do we open our lives to Big Data. Aspiring playwright, Kate Gamble,
is struggling to launch a script she’s been secretly researching
her entire life, mostly at the family dinner table. Her father is
Christian Gamble, CEO of Buck Technologies, a private data
integration company whose clients include the CIA and virtually
every counter-terrorism organization in the Western World. Kate’s
father adores her, and a play about the dark side of Big Data would
be the ultimate betrayal in his eyes. But Kate is compelled to tell
this story—not only as an artist exploring the personal
information catastrophe that affects us all, but as a daughter
trying to understand her mother’s apparent loss of purpose, made
even more disturbing by the suicide note she left behind: I did it
for Kate. Then Patrick Battle comes back into her life, changing
everything she has ever thought about her play, her father, and her
mother’s tragic death. Patrick is a childhood friend, but he is
now Buck’s golden boy with security clearance to the company’s
most sensitive projects. When Buck comes under investigation by the
Justice Department and Patrick suddenly goes missing, Kate
doesn’t know who to trust. A phone call confirms her worst
nightmare: Patrick has been kidnapped, and the ransom demand is
“Code 6”—the most secret and potentially dangerous technology
her father’s company has ever developed. Kate’s fight to bring
Patrick home safely reveals a conspiracy and cover up that may
implicate one of the most powerful executives in the tech industry,
while the development of Kate’s play unleashes family secrets and
the demons behind her mother’s cryptic final note. The two paths
converge in explosive fashion, leading to a shocking and terrifying
discovery that puts Kate and Patrick in the crosshairs of forces
who will stop at nothing to control Code 6.
