In the Shadow of a Hacker
Part of the In the Shadow of a Hacker series
The locked door at the end of the hallway was never supposed to be opened.
Jacob Mitchell is sixteen, a self-proclaimed disaster with technology, and completely unprepared for what he finds behind that door: encrypted messages, hidden identities, and a trail that leads somewhere he never expected.
Somewhere connected to the Shadow Games. Somewhere connected to secrets his family has been keeping for years. Somewhere dangerous.
Now Jacob has a choice: walk away and pretend he never saw any of it, or follow the rabbit hole and risk everything to find the truth.
He's never been good at walking away.
