The Cryptos Files: ICE: A Novella

Rate this book
Ian Edos is a successful businessman. His company, Cryptos, is one of the leading cyber-security companies in the world. Ian and his team of hackers can make sure all your data is safe from the cyber-spies who want to break into your computers and sell all your secrets to your competitors. If you can afford their fees, they can keep you safe from the worst e-criminals in the world. Ian can guarantee that because he knows all about them.

ICE is one of the most notorious hackers for hire on the internet. He is the one who can tear through firewalls like tissue paper and will steal you blind before you even know he has been in your system. There is nothing he won’t do if the price is right.

Ian and ICE are two sides to the same man. One secures your data; the other will steal it. It is a duality that exists peacefully in one body.

Enter the enigmatic Stephanie Sarco. She claims to work for the NSA, but she is the one person Ian cannot trace. She has no e-presence and there is no way to verify what she claims. That's not the biggest problem Stephanie presents to Ian. She knows who he is when he is not CEO of Cryptos, and has the evidence to lock ICE away for the rest of his life.

Now, he has two choices: 1) Go to prison where they will throw away the key. 2) Be Stephanie's puppet to do the jobs that a government agent could never be caught doing. The second option has a much better menu. As ICE, Ian must do Stephanie's dirty work until he can find leverage against her. If that doesn’t work, he can always make her disappear.

Ian/Ice two sides to the same man. Imagine if you will you control your world inside and out and then comes a woman who is hell bent on making you do her will. Suddenly you have no control you must work for the government you keep away from or go to prison. There is murder, mystery, psychosis. Come get inside the head of a super hacker
