[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 Bruce Borgos. n-mx--- n-us-nv Sheriffs Fiction Hackers Fiction Murder Investigation Fiction Drug traffic Fiction Cartels Mexico Fiction Nevada Fiction PS3602.O7475 S53 2024 Borgos, Bruce 9781250848093 9781250355355 1250848091 2024012427 240708 20240919140238.0 1444081359
