Karen E. Olson

A computer hacker’s criminal past comes back to haunt her in this “edge-of-your-seat thriller” from the author of Vanished (Alison Gaylin, USA Today–bestselling author).

Nicole Jones lives off the grid. She doesn’t have a driver’s license, passport, or even a bank account. She definitely doesn’t own a computer. Operating bike tours on Block Island, she hasn’t left her New England refuge in fifteen years. But it’s not that she’s afraid of the world. She’s afraid of what she could do to it if she ever plugged back in. Because Nicole Jones isn’t her real name. Still wanted by the FBI, she was once one of the best cyberthieves in the business.

When the last person Nicole wants to see suddenly appears on the island, using a name he knows will draw her out, Nicole realizes that no one can hide forever—not even her. As her secret past comes to light and her carefully-constructed life starts to unravel, Nicole’s long-time haven becomes a prison, and her only chance for survival is hacking her way out.
