Because of injuries sustained during California's border war, Ted is locked out of the technological culture that surrounds him. But that's his edge: his business card reads "Strictly Analog," and he markets himself as a man able to skirt the technological landscape without leaving a trail. It works nicely for him until he gets the most important case of his life. When his daughter Amy is accused of killing her boyfriend, Ted knows he has to do whatever he can to help her. It won't be easy. The bullet in the boyfriend's head matches Amy's gun. To make matters worse, the dead boyfriend was an agent with California's secret police.

And it just might open the door to secrets that reach back to the attack that almost killed him eighteen years before. At any rate, Ted Lomax will never be the same.
