Everyone has secrets...

Some are just more deadly than others

About The Story

Madison Maxwell is eager for a fresh start when she joins Know Inc., a Silicon Valley tech giant. Still haunted by the death of her father twenty years ago—and the guilt she’s carried since—she’s ready to move on. But nothing about her new job—or her new boss—feels right.

 

On her first day, she discovers she’s replacing the assistant killed in a hit-and-run. On her second, she meets her charismatic VP boss, who feels eerily familiar. The more time she spends around him, the more she is convinced he is not who he claims to be, and that he’s hiding a terrifying secret directly connected to her father’s death on 9/11, concealed behind the façade of his Silicon Valley success.

Desperate to prove her boss’s true identity, Madison tries to get closer to him—only to uncover a shocking revelation, one that could get her killed and thrusts her into the heart of a diabolical conspiracy the FBI, led by Agent Niles, has been struggling to crack before it strikes on an unimaginable scale.

In a race against time that spans the corridors of Silicon Valley and beyond, Niles hunts for answers while Madison risks everything for the truth. But nothing is what it seems, and none of them are prepared for their rude awakening—or the explosive surprise.

Tick…tick…tick...

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.
