The ācinematic, hyper-kinetic, action-packedā (Jeff Abbott) thriller and āa must-read for followers of Andrew Vachss and Charlie Hustonā (Booklist, starred review).
There is no code Elroy Coffin canāt break, nothing he canāt hack, no safe he canāt get into. But for the past two years, heās been incarcerated in a maximum-security hellhole after a job gone bad, driven to near-madness by the revelation of his beloved wifeās murder.

All Elroy has to do is hack into one of the most complicated and deadliest security grids in the worldāclear and simple instructions for the best in the business. Or so he thinks.
Quickly drawn into the epicenter of a secret, brutal war between criminal masterminds, Elroy is forced to run for his life through a rapid-fire labyrinth of deception, betrayal, and intrigueā where no one is to be trusted and every fight could be his last . . . and the real truth hidden beneath the myriad levels of treachery may be too shocking to comprehend. . . .
