When the code you built becomes the weapon used to destroy you, who do you trust - and who do you kill?
The Blockchain Killing is a razor-edged techno-thriller set in the surveillance-soaked startup culture of San Francisco, the dark web's invisible corridors, the seductive shadows of Paris, and the politically volatile streets of Islamabad. At the center of it all: a brilliant software engineer who discovers that the most dangerous weapon in the world isn't a gun. It's the code he wrote himself.
Alec Chenais built tools that governments kill for. When the woman he loves turns up dead, he finds himself burned by the very agency that hired him, framed for crimes he didn't commit, and hunted by people who don't leave witnesses. In this world, trust is a vulnerability, loyalty is an exploit, and the truth has been encrypted beyond recognition.
With his clearance revoked, his company gone, and his identity in ashes, Alec chases justice across three continents. Every lead lands him deeper in the kill zone. The deeper he digs, the more he questions which side of the firewall he belongs on. And the people willing to help him always want something in return.
Because in this world, every ally is one offer away from becoming the enemy.
A web of billionaire ambition, global espionage, and cold-blooded murder tightens around Alec with each page. When the final pieces of the puzzle lock into place, the stakes aren't just personal anymore. They're existential.
Perfect for fans of Daniel Suarez's Daemon, The Blockchain Killing is a propulsive, globe-spanning thriller that asks the question every hacker eventually faces: when the system is the enemy, what are you willing to sacrifice to bring it down?
The answer will cost more than Alec ever imagined. And when he finally learns the full truth about AJ's death, what was ordered, why, and what's coming next, he'll have to choose between justice and survival.
Only one of them is still possible.
