About the Book

DEAD CODE is the third book in the Trisha Carson mysteries.

Trisha Carson blunders into a nest of cybercriminals when her landlord’s grandson disappears after a San Francisco Giants baseball game. Reaching out to help, she lands in the middle of a frightening puzzle and discovers that she is the main prize.

Sleuth Trisha Carson is being watched. By a laptop that tracks her every key stroke. By a blue-eyed athlete who guides her through an open water swim. And by Frida, her smart refrigerator. Why have they targeted her?

A determined Trisha hunts down her stalkers and stumbles on a grim plan that will echo throughout the West Coast.
