Cyber Case Dante is a pulse?pounding cyber thriller where every keystroke could bring a city to its knees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Amazon<\/a> * Bookbub<\/a> <\/p>\n Here we find \u00a0cyber agent Seph Carano, the series\u2019 main character, meeting with an informant who calls himself Dante who claims to have information for her about an impending cyber attack.<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n The Grey Dog was a block off Seventh Avenue and only a short walk Seph had finished the croissant, refilled her latte, and was Feigning wounded feelings, Dante responded, \u201cYou\u2019re a bit testy this morning. Have I offended you? You know I\u2019m a friend, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll I know for certain is you once kept a town\u2019s water supply from being contaminated by closing a valve on an oil pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n Dante\u2019s smile broadened. \u201cAh, so you\u2019ve been looking into my past. My involvement with the pipeline was the act of a young lad, but it proves I\u2019m a good guy, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need more than a single instance to make a judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat else have you discovered about me?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVery little, except you\u2019re discreet enough to avoid the limelight.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTrue, but if there\u2019s something you\u2019d like to know about me, just ask. I\u2019ll share almost anything\u2026almost anything.\u201d<\/p>\n A server came to the table with Dante\u2019s breakfast platter. Seph declined when the server asked if she wanted her latte refilled again. Her ruse failed. Dante finished chewing, then replied calmly, \u201cI\u2019m willing to share general information, but my name is too specific.\u201d<\/p>\n Wanting to avoid wordplay, Seph snapped, \u201cI agreed to meet because you claimed to have urgent information. What is it?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you after I\u2019ve eaten because if I tell you now, you\u2019ll leave. I came to the restaurant of your choice, expecting we could enjoy a meal together. Even though you\u2019ve finished eating, grant me the pleasure of your company while I savor the Grey Dog breakfast special.\u201d<\/p>\n Seph groused, \u201cYou\u2019re insufferable.\u201d<\/p>\n Dante said, \u201cMost confidential informants expect to be paid for their information. All I\u2019m asking for is pleasant company.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou fancy yourself a confidential informant? Where do you get your information? We have investigators who monitor the dark web constantly, and they haven\u2019t seen any posts hinting at an attack on the Bridges and Tunnels Authority.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYour investigators monitor the chat rooms, but the most meaningful exchanges don\u2019t take place in those public spaces. Serious issues are discussed in private channels accessible only by invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd you participate in the private forums, I presume?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do. I earned entry long ago, when I was a teenager.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe checked our database, and there\u2019s no trace of anyone using the name Dante on the dark web more than seven years ago. Nothing from the time when you would have been a teenager.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was a different person those many years ago. I became Dante when\u2026.\u201d \u201cYou expect me to trust you; yet you admit to frequenting invitation-only forums swarming with cyber criminals, you won\u2019t tell me your real name, and you keep your past hidden. You don\u2019t give me much of a basis for trust.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have different values, Seph. For example, while I might find it acceptable, even laudable, for someone to hack into the network of a bank charging usury loan rates to poor working people, I\u2019m sure you would call the intrusion a crime. However, I\u2019m sure we\u2019d both consider it intolerable for anyone to disrupt the city\u2019s infrastructure for his own personal gain.\u201d<\/p>\n Silence hung in the air for a long minute. Dante broke it, saying, \u201cSince our last meeting, I learned Needle24 has been recruited not just to breach the Bridges and Tunnels Authority, but to stage a series of coordinated attacks. The plan isn\u2019t fully developed yet, but it will include attacks on different parts of the city\u2019s infrastructure. The messages I saw Seph stared in disbelief. \u201cDid I hear you correctly? You\u2019re saying cyber attacks will be carried out to make the mayor and his administration look bad?\u201d Her eyes narrowed. \u201cSomeone wants to influence the election. Who?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know. The person pulling the strings is keeping his identity hidden.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAre you sure about this?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sure.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the timeframe?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe exact date hasn\u2019t been decided yet, but it will have to be soon\u2014before Cyber Case Adams <\/b><\/p>\n The Cyber Case Series Book 3<\/p>\n Cyber Case<\/i> Adams plunges cyber security agent Persephone \u201cSeph\u201d Carano into a world where teenage rivalries spiral into digital warfare.<\/p>\n When a high school art student innocently posts a painting online, it sparks a storm of harassment that leaves her broken and vulnerable.

\nfrom Seph\u2019s office. It was the first breakfast place she had discovered when
\nshe began working at the Cyber Security Agency. She remembered lively crowds
\nlining up outside the bustling storefront, drawn by the promise of a hot,
\ncomforting breakfast to start their day. Some folks had stood patiently in the
\nqueue, scrolling through their phones or chatting with friends, while others
\nbounced on their feet with the aroma of bacon making their mouths water. Online
\nordering had changed the scene. Now customers ordered in advance using the Grey
\nDog\u2019s app, so when they arrived, their meals were waiting for them. They
\ngrabbed the bags labeled with their names and were gone in a flash. There were
\nno more lines, but the constant flow of cheerful patrons in and out of the shop
\nhad created a festive atmosphere. Seph had texted ahead, so her latte and egg
\nand cheese croissant were bagged up when she reached the counter. She found a
\ntable at the rear of the room where she could watch for Dante. She split the
\ncrescent and neatly wrapped the larger piece to save for lunch.<\/p>\n

\nfashion icon, this time in tan slacks, a navy blazer, and a powder blue shirt. Why
\nwould a cyber-hacker even have such stylish apparel? <\/i>At the counter he
\nordered chorizo hash, glimpsed Seph at the back of the room and smiled. She
\nresisted commenting on his appearance when he came to the table and said
\nbrusquely, \u201cI\u2019m eager to hear what you have to tell me that couldn\u2019t be said on
\nthe phone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHoping to catch Dante off guard, Seph waited until he\u2019d taken a bite before
\nasking, \u201cWhat\u2019s your real name?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe searched for the right phrasing. \u201cWhen I was re-born, and please don\u2019t ask
\nabout my metamorphosis. It wasn\u2019t a pleasant experience, not one I wish to
\ndwell on.\u201d<\/p>\n
