Cyber Case Adams

By Ken Tentarelli

One misread painting. One act of revenge. One secret that should have stayed buried.

When high school junior Lara posts a class art project to her school's shared Instagram, she has no idea she's lit a fuse. Classmates misread the painting as a cruel joke about the football team's star wide receiver - and within days, the teasing turns vicious. His girlfriend retaliates the only way she knows how: a flood of posts designed to humiliate the girl who started it all. Lara, convinced the whole school has turned against her, wanders into traffic.

Her best friend wants justice. What she finds instead is a weapon - a file, buried in the school's private records, exposing the football player's most painful childhood secret. She posts it. He shatters.

Cyber Security Agency investigator Persephone "Seph" Carano isn't called in to mediate a high school feud. She's called in because someone broke into a protected system and used what they found to destroy a teenager's life - and Seph knows that whoever did it once will do it again. As she works through students, parents, and teachers who all insist they have nothing to hide, she starts to see the real shape of what happened: not one villain, but a chain of ordinary people, each one certain they were the one fighting for justice.

To stop the next victim, Seph has to do something riskier than chase a hacker. She has to bait one - and hope she's not too late to catch them before the next file goes public.

For readers who love the moral gray zones of Jodi Picoult, the small-town unraveling of Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell, and the relentless pursuit of justice found in Karin Slaughter and Tess Gerritsen, Cyber Case Adams asks an uncomfortable question: when does protecting someone you love become the very harm you swore to stop?
