To their families and friends, they appeared to be as normal as everyday people. They were all in their late twenties, were from good families and had been educated at India’s finest universities. But they were the modern-day outlaws of society. In the world of the Internet, they were cyberpunks and computer hackers. Calling themselves Doomsday, they made a pact with the Russian mafia. Their plan was to steal the source code to a critical computer program and $10 billion from U.S. banks, without a trace.
Eight thousand miles away, Sarah Wynter, the director of a prestigious art gallery, unexpectedly became the sole heir to over $2 billion upon the death of her estranged uncle. Her rational world suddenly turned into one of terror. Using the stolen source code, Doomsday silently breached the firewalls of her banks’ computers and stole the $2 billion. Instructions were then given to the mafia to kill her.
In Richmond, Virginia, the identity of attorney John Ambrose is stolen by a Columbian drug cartel and used to traffic drugs. Fighting back, he unwittingly gained possession of $400 million of the cartel’s money, and his death warrant was sealed. He suddenly found himself alienated from his law firm and the target of a nationwide manhunt.
When the stolen source code is used to break into critical U.S. defense installations, warning bells are sounded at the FBI. In their frantic attempt to stay alive, the lives of Ambrose and Wynter cross as they are thrust into a deadly confrontation with the mafia and the cartel.
