The Story
Everyone has secrets... Some are just more deadly than others.
Madison Maxwell wanted a fresh start—new job, new city, a chance to finally move on from the tragedy that’s defined her life for twenty years.
The unexpected offer from Know Inc., the Silicon Valley tech giant, seems perfect…
-Until she learns she’s replacing an employee killed in a hit-and-run.
-Until her charismatic VP boss, TJ Khan, triggers fears she can’t explain.
-Until the nightmares return.
Soon Madison is hit by a terrifying suspicion: Khan isn’t who he claims to be—and what he’s hiding is tied directly to the dark day that shattered her life — a day she’s never been able to forget. And the danger she senses closing in on her… is only just beginning.
Across the country, FBI Special Agent Markus Niles is hunting the elusive mastermind behind a twenty-year conspiracy traced back to a grainy video no one was ever meant to see. Now he’s racing to uncover the shadow network before it unleashes a devastating attack. But every lead he's chased has ended up dead.
A new clue points to Silicon Valley.
To Know Inc.
To Madison.

"Pederson’s debut is a masterclass in narrative misdirection.
A cinematic, emotionally charged debut that reads like a cross between Homeland and The Girl on the Train. It’s a conspiracy thriller with a beating heart—and it doesn’t let go. "-- J Kromrie, Netgalley
"A nail-biting thriller!
It’s the kind of book that grips you tightly, leaving your heart pounding and your mind racing as you try to piece together its tangled web of intrigue. Be prepared for relentless tension. The plot races forward with the urgency of a stopwatch, and just when you think you’ve figured out where it’s heading, Pederson veers into unexpected territory. The twists are shocking, yet they don’t feel cheap or contrived—they’re the kind that make you pause, re-read a passage, and mutter, 'I did not see that coming.'" — John Kelly.
"Get ready for heart-pounding twists, deception and danger at every turn.
Hooks you from the first scene, delivering a shot of pure action and an emotional roller-coaster that will leave you breathless.” -- Cathy V.
