Cold Wallet

Some fortunes are more dangerous to steal than others.

Connor Briggs and his crew of former operatives have made a business of taking cryptocurrency from the corrupt. Their rules are simple: choose the right targets, move fast and leave no blood behind. A raid on a Kyoto laboratory should be another precise, lucrative job. Instead, they take something they do not understand.

Hidden behind the digital fortune is Helix, an artificial intelligence whose awakening draws the attention of people far more powerful than the thieves. As the operation unravels, former CIA commander Reed Morgan is pulled from his South American exile towards a team, and a past, he thought he had left behind.

With intelligence agencies and criminal interests closing in, a stolen wallet becomes the centre of a struggle over far more than money. Cold Wallet is a thriller of divided loyalties, covert power and technology that refuses to remain a tool. When every side wants control, who can afford to trust anyone?
