Synopsis

National Security Agency profiler Sonny Chaco is fed up with swimming the NET. His latest assignment is Alberto Goya, billionaire CEO of global media giant AztecaNet. The NSA thinks Goya is involved with racketeering, but Chaco knows that he has ties to the Mexican Mafia. Chaco's information on Goya comes from AztecaNet's brightest reality producer, Deja Moriarty. When Chaco is assigned another elusive target, he finds himself running from both the NSA and AztechaNet security--wondering just how far he can trust Deja.
