A less violent, but equally skillful, Lisbeth Salander, with an inherited drive for justice...on her own terms

With a suspended federal prison sentence looming compliments of an ex-boyfriend's betrayal, Fatál Wood accepts an almost-legal request by her new boss to hack the Ohio college where she's rebuilding her life. But she discovers the school's director is using the network for personal, illegal, reasons, leading to a second betrayal and the death of her best friend. Fatál is framed for the crimes, and she's caught between rival law enforcement agencies, a suspicious probation officer...and a murderer. She marshals her personal geek squad, twenty-first-century tech savvy, and a too often ignored Romani sixth-sense to protect her newly reunited family and to give justice—and karma—a push.
