Description
In 2001 New York City, the tech bubble has burst and Silicon Alley lies dormant. Amidst this uncertainty, Maxine Tarnow operates a small-scale fraud investigation business, chasing down con artists with her own code of ethics. Her life is ordinary - two boys in elementary school, an off-and-on situation with her semi-ex-husband Horst - until she starts investigating the finances of a computer-security firm and its billionaire CEO. This leads Maxine into a complex web of characters, including a drug runner, a professional nose obsessed with Hitler's aftershave, and various bloggers, hackers, and entrepreneurs. As foul play begins to surface, Maxine finds herself entangled in a mysterious world of crime and deception. With no clear escape route, she must navigate this treacherous landscape to uncover the truth. As the story unfolds, the boundaries between right and wrong become increasingly blurred, and Maxine's own identity is forced to confront the harsh realities of her world.
