About this ebook

It’s been several weeks since Stephanie Ross’ partner went missing and she is worried. Was he just on another of his drunken benders or was there something more sinister going on?
Then people start turning up dead on the local railway line.
As she worries about the whereabouts of Roddy Schaeffer, a nasty ransom virus is threatening not only her business but that of her clients. And who is Louis J Madison and what does he want?
During a few sultry weeks in July, Stephanie finds herself fighting not only to keep her computer support business and her clients... but also her life.
