Higher stakes. Bigger risks. The only way out is through. Beatrix and her men are taking on a huge and terrifying opponent, but only one thing is certain: they aren’t ready. Is Anton only fearless because he doesn’t understand the stakes? Does Noa really trust her—or himself? Is Wilder working against her? Who is the mysterious Carver, and what does he really want? And, most importantly, is Beatrix the hotshot hacker she’s talked herself up as, bold and fearless, ready for anything, or is she actually the failure-to-launch she’s always appeared to be? Whatever the case, she’s in way over her head, risking everything on their behalf, afraid of the consequences, and afraid of letting them down. Her passions are boiling out of control, and so are theirs. People are noticing. People are talking. And the last thing any of them needs is to attract attention to what they are doing. They’re in deep. She can’t quit them, and she can’t quit the job, but she doesn’t want to be between those forces when they inevitably collide.
