Code 6

En savoir plus sur le livre

Aspiring playwright Kate Gamble struggles to launch a script she's been secretly researching her entire life, primarily at the family dinner table. Her father, Christian Gamble, CEO of Buck Technologies, is deeply devoted to her, and a play about the dark side of Big Data would feel like a betrayal. Yet, Kate feels compelled to tell this story—not only as an artist addressing the personal information crisis but also as a daughter trying to comprehend her mother's loss of purpose, exacerbated by a haunting suicide note: "I did it for Kate." When childhood friend Patrick Battle re-enters her life, he challenges everything she believes about her play, her father, and her mother's tragic death. Now Buck's golden boy with access to sensitive projects, Patrick's sudden disappearance amid a Justice Department investigation raises alarm. A call reveals her worst fear: Patrick has been kidnapped, and the ransom demand is "Code 6," the most dangerous technology her father's company has developed. As Kate fights to bring him home, she uncovers a conspiracy that could implicate a powerful tech executive. The development of her play also unravels family secrets tied to her mother’s cryptic note, leading to a shocking discovery that places both Kate and Patrick in peril from those determined to control Code 6.
