About this listen
FBI civilian data analyst, Lacy Merrick, manages the threat of terrorism every day. But when terror strikes home, she is faced with a new reality and a new enemy.
When she crosses paths with Special Agent Will Caison after the tragic incident, Lacy begins to unravel a furtive plot to discredit not only her, but her husband and cyber security expert, Jay Merrick.
The plot, she soon discovers, balances on the tip of a deeply embedded secret that has the potential to destroy a nation. Lacy recruits Agent Caison and long-time friend and hacker, Aaron Hunter, to help her find those responsible for taking the lives of so many Americans. She must clear the cloud of suspicion around her family and reveal a truth that will inflame a fearful public.
But powerful enemies surround her every move and will employ all necessary resources to keep Lacy and everyone she loves silent forever.

A music therapist who thrives on helping others, Kendra Michaels cherishes the ordinary life she has achieved after stem cell surgery restored her sight. The skills she perfected during those sightless years - the ability to pick up the most subtle audio, olfactory, and tactile cues in the world around her - coupled with her laser-sharp mind - have made her a uniquely potent observer and problem solver. Kendra’s uncanny way of connecting the dots is as baffling to law enforcement as it is legendary.

It's a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last - and his next job is his biggest yet. The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden.

With the aid of FBI SA Will Canton, Lacey begins to do her own investigation, especially after attempts to discredit her dead husband and herself. Will Lacey be able to clear her name or will the bad guys win? The ending will leave you speechless!! Now I need to get the next book!! Fantastic book by a new-to-me author. Narration was on point!

Decent enough standalone
I enjoyed this enough as a standalone but don't think I'll continue with the series. I didn't find the characters particularly believable and the cyber aspects annoyed me (as someone in the field). But the plot moved at a respectable pace and the narration wasn't bad.
