[His] twelve-person department [covers] a large area that is usually very quiet, but not of late. One childhood friend is the latest to succumb to a new wave of particularly strong illegal opioids, another childhood friend--now an enormously successful rancher--is targeted by a military drone, hacked and commandeered by an unknown source. The hacker is apparently local--local enough to call out Beck by name--and that means they are Beck's problem. Beck's investigation leads him to Mercy Vaughn, the one known hacker in the area. The problem is that she's a teenager, locked up with no computer access at the secure juvenile detention center"-- Provided by publisher Sheriffs Fiction. 6940 Hackers Fiction. 9640 Murder Investigation Fiction. 484 Drug traffic Fiction. 6971 Cartels Mexico Fiction. 18362 Nevada Fiction. 18363 Detective and mystery fiction. lcgft. 485 Thrillers (Fiction) lcgft. 486 Novels. lcgft. 50 Borgos, Bruce.
