Some secrets don't die with the person who kept them. Seventeen-year-old Mia Calloway has spent three years grieving a father she thought she knew. James Calloway was a librarian. Quiet. Steady. Safe. Then a USB drive arrives in the mail - postmarked Zurich, addressed in his handwriting - and everything Mia believed about her life begins to unravel. Her father was never a librarian. He was a spy. And before he disappeared, he spent two years assembling the one thing that could stop a catastrophic cyberattack capable of collapsing the entire Western financial system. He left it for Mia. Because she is the only one he trusted. And because she is the only one clever enough to finish what he started. Now Mia is running. From shadow agencies. From a traitor buried deep inside the intelligence world. From a four-minute window that stands between civilisation and collapse. Armed with nothing but a dead man's encrypted files, a retired spy handler, and a mind sharp enough to crack codes that professionals couldn't touch, she has to do the impossible - and bring her father home. THE CIPHER PROTOCOL is a breathless YA thriller that blends espionage, mystery, and the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter. Perfect for fans of fast-paced spy fiction, high-stakes adventure, and stories where the sharpest weapon in the room is a teenager who refuses to give up. A story of secrets, shadows, and the courage to follow the truth - no matter where it leads.
