However, what the clandestine task force discovers is a more troubling problem. The organization and the man behind it is funding terror by selling stolen US intellectual property to rogue regimes. When they get too close, the operation funded by government interests in Eastern Europe, implements its so-called Ghost Nation protocol and goes dark. The trail cools until Lacy encounters a potential ally, a cyber hacker known only as Graybear, whose motives remain unclear.When Trevor Axell, head of the task force, along with Will Caison and Aaron Hunter home in on the hacker’s identity and the whereabouts of their target, it is Lacy who finds herself in danger as she strikes out on her own for answers. In this fourth installment of the Lacy Merrick Thrillers, Robin Mahle continues the action-packed adventure that finds the task force facing a greater threat than ever before, the threat of losing one of their own.
