Ground Zero (Lantern Beach Blackout: Detonation #3)

Some betrayals start with a single click. Others begin at ground zero.

When computer genius Maverick Adams is framed for cyber terrorism, his perfect morning surf session becomes a fight for survival—and his freedom.

FBI Special Agent Sheridan Mendez has never failed to bring down a target, and cybercriminal Maverick Adams won't be her first. The evidence is his digital fingerprints are all over the attacks that killed her partner. She's here for justice, not conversation.

The laid-back surfer claims he's innocent—and that they're both walking into a trap set by the shadowy terrorist organization called Sigma. With gunmen closing in and nowhere to run, Sheridan faces an impossible trust the system that sent her here or trust the man she came to arrest. Because if Maverick is telling the truth, then someone with access to the highest levels of government has been playing a deadly game with all their lives.

Maverick and Sheridan must uncover the truth before Sigma's endgame destroys everything they've sworn to protect. But when the digital evidence points in one direction and their hearts point in another, survival might depend on deciding who to trust when trust itself has been weaponized.
