Computer security specialist Jack1 Stanfield works for the Seattle-based Landrock Pacific Bank. A trusted TOP-ranking executive, he has built his career and reputation on designing the most effective anti-theft computer systems in the industry.
Jack's position affords a comfortable life for him, his architect wife Beth and their two young children--a standard of living that includes a beautiful home in a residential2 community just outside the city.
But there's a vulnerability in Jack's system that he has not accounted for: himself. It's a vulnerability that Bill Cox, one very ruthless and resourceful thief, is poised3 to exploit.
Having spent the better part of a year methodically infiltrating4 every aspect of Jack's identity, Cox is now ready to make good on his investment.Leading a tight team of mercenary accomplices5, he seizes control of the Stanfield house, making Beth and the kids terrified hostages in their own home and Jack his unwilling6 pawn7 in a scheme to steal $100 million from the Landrock Pacific Bank.
Jack is forced to find a breach8 in his own formidable security system to siphon funds into his captor's offshore9 account--incriminating himself in the process.
Under constant surveillance, he has only hours to accomplish the risky10 transactions while desperately11 hunting for a loophole in the thief's own impenetrable wall of subterfuge12 and false identities to save his family and beat Cox at his own game.
