She broke into the Department of Justice to save herself. What she found could burn down the entire system.
Maya Okafor is a cybersecurity expert with a spotless decade-long career - until federal agents kick in her door and charge her with a hospital ransomware attack that killed two people. The evidence is airtight. It's also completely fabricated.
With hours before she's arrested for good, Maya does the one thing her entire professional life has trained her never to do: she breaks into a federal database to find out who framed her. What she finds isn't a mistake. It's a toolkit - a piece of software quietly sold to prosecutors, police departments, and one very ambitious Deputy Attorney General, capable of manufacturing digital evidence against anyone the system finds inconvenient. Forty-three names are on the list before she even starts counting. She's not the first. She won't be the last - unless she can stop it.
Hunted by hired trackers, a smear campaign, and a man four votes from a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, Maya has to build a network out of nothing: a public defender with nothing left to lose, a disgraced FBI analyst, a reporter who took hush money and hated himself for it, and one federal agent forced to choose between his career and the truth.
Zero Cover is a high-speed conspiracy thriller about the last people willing to check the evidence - and what it costs them to be right.
