    About this ebook

    Fridays in the security office at Lynx Technologies are often met with a lighter attitude. But when a tour guide is found with his head submerged in acid, chaos ensues.
    Jalen Murray, the leader of the team, sets off to find out what happened. Battling his inner demons, he races to track down an elusive killer who remains one step ahead and knows Lynx's campus better than anyone realizes.
    His friends assist him where they can, but understand that Jalen is caught in a dangerous game where the stakes are high.
    Along the way, he steps into increasingly devastating traps designed to kill.
    Jalen must risk everything to save his fellow employees and bring the murderer to justice in this high-adrenaline technological thriller.
