The Blockchain Syndicate

A Contemporary Thriller

Beschreibung

A dead man blackmails a United States senator. A Russian assassin leaves a trail of bodies. A cryptic criminal syndicate unleashes financial chaos. A courageous war hero races to save her family--and her country. Set amid the turbulence of today's headlines, this gripping techno thriller--the second in Bach's series to feature Tamika Smith--pulses with high-stakes intrigue and razor-edged political drama. Senator Tamika Smith's new year begins in shambles. First she receives an email threatening to expose her past--a threat from someone she knows is dead. Then her boyfriend, Johnny Humboldt, is kidnapped in broad daylight after his daughter is wounded in a California school shooting. Someone is desperate to take Tamika down and damage the country she loves. The attacks are professional, the delivery is flawless, and the message unmistakable: America is broken, and someone is determined to fix it their way. Standing in the eye of the storm, Tamika must navigate a political landscape riddled with betrayal, misinformation, and moral decay to rescue Johnny and uncover the group behind the web of conspiracy. As the country spirals toward financial Armageddon and democracy itself begins to unravel, Tamika must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to save her family and pull the nation back from the brink. With its sharp blend of shadowy villains and morally torn heroes, The Blockchain Syndicate dares you to question everything--right up to the final, breathless moment.
