A murder at a quantum computing firm leads a hacker and an FBI agent into a race against the clock—before a polarized America reaches its breaking point. In the wake of a controversial Supreme Court decision, a firestorm of civil unrest erupts on both ends of the political spectrum. As Los Angeles grapples with the turmoil, a woman is found murdered inside an office building, mere feet from the most powerful quantum computer ever created. The next day, whitehat hacker Isabella Cray hears from an old flame, unexpectedly in town and acting strange. Before she knows it, Cray’s life is turned upside-down, her ex-lover vanishes, and the FBI is asking her questions. Reunited with Special Agent Will Fraser, Cray embarks on a quest for answers that will take her from the riot-torn streets of L.A. to the scorching badlands of the High Desert. Crossing paths with an ex-Stasi billionaire, national-anarchist radicals, and desperate cybercriminals, Cray and Fraser race to unravel the truth as a devastating technology hangs in the balance—and before a ruthless adversary can exploit the divided nation for their own nefarious agenda… Fast-paced, provocative, and timely, Grim Trigger is a thriller you won’t soon forget.
