Six deadly criminals against one teenage hacker and her sentient AI spy bot. This book was so unlike any other that I had previously read by this author. I just loved getting to discover what made Augusta Pine tick her past mistakes that led her to the present. In the near future, where technology is an even greater control, Augusta Pine has a rare weekend off from her government job. Before she can get too cozy, Augusta finds herself in the middle of a terrorist takeover of the apartment building where she is staying. With only her wits and her AI spybot Edgar, can Augusta thaw the terrace and get back to her regular scheduled life?
