Who Murdered the Nerd?

Suicidal Student Snuffed on Stage Fly

When a suicidal student dies backstage

at a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

fundraiser exhibition dance,

small town detectives uncover the murder victim.

A tangled nest of lies and cover-ups from the

Navapache Community College board (NCC)

stonewalls cyber-forensic Minerva and Marshal Michael Doyle,

even though the NCC is next on the ransom threat list.

Meanwhile, malevolent Black Hat hackers attack

the hospital and hold the NICU for ransom.

Local officials refuse to open digital files

to the Marshal's investigative team.

Rumors of internal attacks on City Hall

forces the Black Mesa Mayor Ethel Robinson

into crisis mode and she blames both

Minerva and Michael Doyle for the threat.

Who murdered the nerd?

What Black Hat hacker terrifies the town and students?

The Bitcoin ransom clock is ticking toward midnight.

Can Michael and Minerva Doyle uncover the motive

behind a student's death before the scandal blows up?
