For Kip Barrett, a secret commission from her boss's boss's boss, CEO Tamara Sterling, shows that the respect she's earned for her integrity and intelligence as a fraud investigator is justified. All she has to do is what she's done successfully before: follow the cyber-trail, find the high-tech thief, and document it so that justice prevails.

Kip must find out who and how, as soon as possible, and no one but Tamara can know what she's doing.
