Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author and "grand master of the game" (The Providence Journal) J. A. Jance, an electrifying new thriller featuring Ali Reynolds.

After taking down the man responsible for his best friend's death, Stuart Ramey thinks the case is finally closed. That is, until Stu finds himself left with a multimillion-dollar fortune in Bitcoin in a desperate bid by Frigg, a rogue AI program created by the killer, to keep itself from being fully deactivated.

To sort out his situation and take Frigg down for good, Stu enlists the help of Ali Reynolds and the rest of his cyber-security colleagues at High Noon Enterprises. But they are not the only ones who know about Frigg's existence.

Graciella Miramar, an unassuming accountant to all appearances, is actually the right-hand woman to El Pescado, the leader of a dangerous drug cartel. She'll do anything to get her hands on that program. With Frigg's help, Graciella hopes to take over her father's criminal underworld and become wealthy beyond her wildest dreams. But Stu - and El Pescado and his henchmen - may not be so easily defeated.

Written in J. A. Jance's classic "take-no-prisoners" style (Kirkus Reviews), in this thriller, Stu, Ali, and their team will come to realize that everything has its price.

Good story. Interesting premises

The story centered around an AI named Frigg is fascinating . Hard to believe but, being involved in the computer industry for most of my life, I find it conceivable that we could some day get to that level of sophistication. The story seems a bit far fetched but could be possible someday. The central person in this book is Stuart, not Ali.

A Satisfying, Entertaining Read

Leaves you wanting to read further adventures with Trig, the amazing AI and her human associates.

Duel to the Death

I absolutely loved this story, very hard to put it down and it is an excellent story by J A JANCE.

A. J. Jance Succeeds One More Time

This book begins slowly, but picks up speed and plot as it moves forward. Per her usual novels, the main characters are likeable and give off good vibes. Her story telling is easy to follow, and her descriptions of events are believable as are her characters.

New readers and old should enjoy this typically well written tale by this author.

good story line

I enjoyed the audio. at times I was confused but it would come together later.

Continuation of Man Overboard

For a sequel, it’s a strong entry into the High Noon series. If you’ve liked Ali so far, this entry sets up the characters for the next book as well. I like that Jance has taken the time to provide in depth information on the main characters. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Ali and her cohorts, even the villains are interesting.

Narration is great. She brings Ali and the others to life. I know some don’t like her narration, but I think she Karen brings a lot to the story.

Started very slow but..

Starts very slow but once it kicks in the story is pretty good. Jance spins a great story without going too far out and away from the main players. I enjoyed.

Great

easy to listen to, easy to see characters and emerse in story when driving or working.
