When police pull the bloated corpse of a young woman out of the Pajaro River, FBI agent Claudia Seagal becomes a central figure in the investigation. Was the woman murdered by human traffickers?

Even his relationship with Claudia borders on happiness, something he hasn’t experienced since losing his parents in an auto accident. But clouds from his dark past threaten to destroy both dreams.

Meet Baxter Cruise. Gifted robotics student. Spammer for hire. His cozy world of lattes and free wi-fi explodes when a hippie professor disappears, and Baxter discovers a lady professor's warm corpse on campus. With his secretive lifestyle, he hasn't cultivated any real friends. When a student asks for help with a class assignment, Baxter figures it'll throttle his funk. But the guy blackmails Baxter into programming narcotics delivery vehicles for a notorious cartel. Working for drug lords rattles the needle on Baxter's errant moral compass, but it's better than a bullet in the head. Beautiful FBI agent Claudia Seagal tracks the professor's brutal assassin, but every angle of her investigation leads to Baxter. He's hiding something and in far too deep to cooperate with the law. Baxter ignores the cartel's depravity until he watches an innocent woman die. When he wakes up on a plane, it's too late for remorse. In bed with dangerous allies, the cartel requires Baxter's talent until the robots are complete. Then, he and thousands of others face certain death unless Baxter can find a way to escape.

Elsewhere, conspirators abduct nine people to manipulate the rules of their game. Two disparate ambitions — Clint Masters becomes the reluctant link in the chain of danger.Ever since Clint's almost ex-wife dumped him, he bobs along the Massachusetts coast in a sailboat with his black lab for company. He avoids all forms of technology, a counterintuitive effort for the burned-out founder of CatSat Laboratories.

Fortunately, he met one, a beautiful, unspoiled woman who doesn't treat him like a commodity.

Without routine dialysis, she won't survive. As Clint realizes that he loves Beth, damn-near ex-wife Paige sashays back into his life with disturbing news.While the CIA young gun tracks his quarry, Clint enlists the help of two men to find Beth, a blithe Brit named Merlin, and Todd, his playboy partner-in-tech. But Clint must find Beth before her kidneys fail. And before someone unloads a bullet in his head.
