The Zero-Day Inheritance

Her father left her no apology. Just three encrypted drives — and a target on her back. Cybersecurity attorney Nadia Voss is brilliant, methodical, and estranged from the man who just turned up dead in a Virginia farmhouse. What begins as a reluctant trip to settle an estate becomes a race for survival when she discovers her father — a retired NSA cryptographer — spent his final months assembling proof of the most devastating intelligence betrayal in American history. A zero-day exploit called COVENANT. A backdoor buried in critical infrastructure firmware. Sold simultaneously to three hostile governments by someone still inside the NSA. Now four different forces are hunting Nadia across state lines and secure networks: a Russian operative, a German intelligence officer, a U.S. senator, and the architect of the conspiracy himself. Her only ally is a disillusioned ex-analyst who may be hiding his own agenda. She was trained to win in courtrooms. This is something else entirely. Gripping, technically razor-sharp, and relentlessly paced, this is a thriller for readers who want their twists served with substance. The clock is running. The truth is encrypted. And Nadia's father is counting on her from beyond the grave. Decrypt the conspiracy before it buries her.
