A GREAT THRILLER Grace Monroe is a former university teacher on the run. The goons of the organisation that ordered the murder of her father, one of Silicon Valley's historic golden boys, have never stopped looking for her. They want what she will never agree to surrender: her father's legacy. An algorithm that could revolutionise the world of cybersecurity. Grace has recently been hired at a Cape Cod restaurant, the night she crosses paths with Dennis Ford. The district attorney, a long-time friend of former FBI agent Sonny Louwert, is impressed by the atypical waitress. So he finds a way to see her again. The situation precipitates a few weeks later. Two killers enter the restaurant where Grace works, camouflaged among the customers on a busy pre-Christmas weekend. But she still manages to spot them. And escapes. She calls Ford and asks him for help. From that moment on, events take on a paroxysmal rhythm. Ford decides to involve Louwert in Grace's fight for survival. A no-holds-barred war, which soon reveals close and opaque relations between high finance, the political world and some new technology tycoons. But Grace's enemies are much more formidable and powerful than Ford and his partners assumed. And above all, they have no scruples. Between kidnappings, ambushes and sophisticated cybernetic traps, a lethal chaos threatens to overwhelm not only Grace, but also all those who have chosen to help her. Until Sonny Louwert, thanks to an unexpected ally, spots a weak point in the strategy deployed by the former university teacher's adversaries that could change everything.
