Lola McKenzie never wanted to steal from her dodgy boss.

But she also never wanted to be stuck in a dead-end job, paying off her dad's debts.

So when she sees a bag of cash sitting around unattended at work, she figures it's time to make life a little easier. Only, the next day her boss is missing, presumed dead – and it won't take a genius to figure out Lola is involved.

Turns out that Lola's pinched more than a bag of cash... nestled at the bottom of the bag was a USB drive that could be either a curse or an opportunity. Lola doesn't know what's on it, only that it's important enough for the local cops and the local crooks to come looking for it.

Is it a magnet for trouble? Or her ticket out of the hard life? All she has to do is figure out a way to sell it to the highest bidder without revealing her identity.

Should be easy, right?

For fans of Adrian McKinty, Garry Disher and Iain Ryan.
