description: Alternative cover edition for 9781478354420Ted Lomax does his best to get by as a private detective in a society where almost nothing is private any more. He lives in a near-future California that has gained independence from the economically collapsed United States and where everyone is constantly linked into the web. Almost everyone. Because of injuries sustained during Californias border war Ted is locked out of the technological culture that surrounds him. But thats his edge: his business card reads Strictly Analog and he markets himself as a man able to skirt the technological landscape without leaving a trail. It works nicely for him until he gets the most important case of his life. When his daughter Amy is accused of killing her boyfriend Ted knows he has to do whatever he can to help her. It wont be easy. The bullet in the boyfriends head matches Amys gun. To make matters worse the dead boyfriend was an agent with Californias secret police. Now Ted has to dig himself out of the hole hes been buried in since the war. Before long hes pulled into a shadow world of underground hackers high-end programmers and renegade gear-heads all of whom seem to have a stake in Californias future. The further he digs into the case the clearer it becomes that its about more than one dead agent. Solving it might save his daughter. And it might get him killed. And it just might open the door to secrets that reach back to the attack that almost killed him eighteen years before. At any rate Ted Lomax will never be the same.
