The next attack on New York City won't come from a bomb. It'll come from a keystroke. When technicians managing the city's bridges and tunnels report a strange glitch, Cyber Security Agency investigator Persephone "Seph" Carano expects routine malware. What she finds instead is a dormant virus embedded in the systems that keep eight million people moving - bridges, tunnels, traffic lights, subways - and it's waiting for someone to switch it on. Her best lead comes from the last person she should trust: Dante, a hacker with a criminal record of his own, who insists he wants to help. Over coffee, then lunch, then increasingly intimate conversations, he feeds her pieces of a conspiracy too large for one man to be running alone - a coordinated strike on the city's infrastructure, timed to make the mayor look helpless days before his reelection. Seph can't stop the attack. But she can keep it from becoming a catastrophe - and in the chaos afterward, she notices something nobody else does: a television reporter standing in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time, far too prepared to cover a disaster she shouldn't have known was coming. What Seph uncovers next reaches past a hacking group, past a leak, and into the boardroom of a company with every reason to want the mayor gone - and the money to make it happen. For readers of Daniel Suarez, Matthew Mather, and Marc Elsberg, Cyber Case Dante delivers the technological plausibility and high-stakes infrastructure threat you love - with the relentless, ground-level investigation of Tom Clancy and Jeffery Deaver driving every page.
