Description
Running away is what Zak Skinner does best, and he’s just done it again, having transferred from NYU to University of Chicago. His fresh start goes south when he accidentally uncovers evidence of an on-campus, organized crime scam involving drugging students, getting them to commit crimes on camera, and blackmailing them to continue under the threat of expulsion. Digging deeper, Zak discovers that the university scam is just the tip of the iceberg, connected to a broader ring of crimes linked to a darkweb underworld. Following clues proves too dangerous. They know, they’re watching him. But he’s in too deep now to turn back. Zak is led to a compound within Chicago’s abandoned Steelworker Park, only to discover that he’s being hunted. Following the path toward the truth transforms him from a nerdy academic to a rabid activist hell-bent on exposing the most elaborate and expensive scam on the US economy and its unsuspecting victims. While trying to find a way out alive, Zak discovers there’s something much more personal he’s been running from – his past. And now there’s nowhere to hide.

The first 20% of thus book was hard for me. I'm not a math/science/codes fan by ANY means, however after finally getting a grasp on the beginning with help from a friend, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the rest of the story. It was such a rollercoaster. You didn't know what was real or who to trust. It kept my brain constantly searching for answers. I wondered if something like this could truly be happening somewhere and if the technology used is real. The story would stop and turn in an opposite direction with the drop of the hat.
I am now afraid to start a journal and will never look at a receipt the same way. Watch out for the Campus Police!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to read this.

This is a my first book by this author which I enjoyed from beginning to end. It is a suspenseful story that has twist and turns that kept me turning pages to the end. I enjoyed the author's writing style as well as her attention to details that made the story realistic. The characters are not only relateable but also made the story entertaining to read. This is a well written story about the darkweb and the crimes that are linked to it. As Zak's past comes crashing into his present, he finds there is no where to hide. What will happen to him? Will the people hunting him find him? I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout as well as how supporting the characters were of each other. This was a great pick up and I highly recommend it.
