Harper Lee Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author James Grippando returns with a gripping thriller that explores the implications of Big Data. Aspiring playwright Kate Gamble is determined to launch a script she's been secretly developing, rooted in her family's dinner table discussions. Her father, Christian Gamble, is the CEO of Buck Technologies, a private data integration firm serving the CIA and counter-terrorism organizations. While her father cherishes her, a play exposing the dark side of Big Data would feel like a betrayal. Yet, Kate feels compelled to tell this story, driven by her desire to understand her mother's loss of purpose, exacerbated by a haunting suicide note that reads, "I did it for Kate." When childhood friend Patrick Battle reenters her life, everything changes. Now a key player at Buck with access to sensitive projects, Patrick's sudden disappearance amid a Justice Department investigation raises alarms. A chilling phone call reveals he has been kidnapped, with a ransom demand tied to Code 6, Buck's most dangerous technology. As Kate fights to rescue Patrick, she uncovers a conspiracy that may involve a powerful tech executive. Simultaneously, her play's development brings family secrets to light, intertwining with her mother's cryptic final message. The paths of Kate and Patrick converge in a shocking revelation, putting them at the mercy of forces determined to control Code 6.
