One hacked file. Three bodies. Zero time.
Treacherous Hack
A Mike Stoneman Mystery #7
by Kevin G. Chapman
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Police Procedural
From the award-winning Mike Stoneman Thriller series comes Book #7 — a gripping crime
thriller set in the heart of a frozen New York City.
When electronics store owner Lou Palazzo is gunned down at a snowy Manhattan intersection,
NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson catch a case that’s anything but
ordinary. Back at Lou’s shop, two Chinese nationals linked to a powerful Shanghai cybercrime
ring are dead. The only clue? A missing laptop computer, possibly containing something Lou
was willing to die to protect.
Meanwhile, NYU student Ryan Gelb is panicking. His hacked laptop held the stolen university
data — data he quietly gave to his Uncle Lou. Now Lou is dead, and whoever killed him is
coming for the file. . . and for Ryan.
Caught between international cybercriminals, New York mobsters, and the police, Ryan is
desperate to recover the file and avoid being expelled — or worse, executed.
As Mike and Jason untangle a web of secrets, lies, and digital deception, they’re met with
stonewalling from all sides: NYU won’t talk, witnesses are hiding the truth, and even their
closest allies are keeping dangerous secrets.
With the body count rising and a deadly showdown looming, the race is on to solve the
mystery, recover the missing file, and avoid turning Lower Manhattan into a bloodbath.
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John Sandford, and David Baldacci, this high-stakes
police procedural mixes hard-boiled action, cybercrime intrigue, and unforgettable characters
in a page-turning thriller you won’t be able to put down.
What readers are saying:
“A page-turner of a police procedural, with multiple cryptological clues and misdirections. The
convoluted plot is enough to keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout. While the
action is nearly nonstop, it is inevitable that readers along the way will get invested in
relationships such as that between Ryan and Star. All the main characters and many of the
minor ones keep dangerous secrets, demonstrating once again the fallibility of human nature.”
~ S. W. Lawrence, MD, author of climate fiction including Climate Dragon and Cloud
Dragon.
“Chapman delivers another pulse-pounding thriller that seamlessly weaves cybercrime,
organized crime, and family loyalties into one explosive narrative of how far people will go to
protect their secrets. This high-stakes thriller has non-stop action and suspense that culminates
in a riveting page-turner until the end.”
~ LoLo Paige, award-winning author of Alaska Firestorm and Alaska Inferno.
“Treacherous Hack grabs you from the first chapter and doesn’t let go! An exciting police
procedural that makes you feel like you’re on a ride-a-long with the detectives, conspiring with
the bad guys, and hanging out in a dorm room with the young guys caught in the middle of it
all.”
~ Laurel Heidtman, author of The Eden Mysteries.
“A pulse-pounding thriller that seamlessly weaves cybercrime, organized crime, and family
loyalties into one explosive narrative of how far people will go to protect their secrets.”
~ LoLo Paige, award-winning author of Alaska Firestorm and Alaska Inferno.
