He solves the crime before the FBI even knows there is one.
By day, Marc Calloway is the guy everyone likes - a former Cal wide receiver turned data analyst, effortlessly charming, the friend who remembers your birthday and reads a room before you've finished walking into it. A brutal concussion ended his football career. It also left him with something the doctors never fully explained: a mind that locks onto patterns other people can't even see.
By night, he is FLIP - an anonymous operator who has spent three years solving the crimes federal agents haven't found yet, then quietly engineering the evidence trail that lets the FBI discover it themselves. No credit. No exposure. Just the machinery of justice, run from a rented storage unit in Daly City.
When a single anomaly in a routine SEC filing leads him to Helix Capital, Marc uncovers something far larger than fraud: MERIDIAN, a coordinated attack on seven of the world's largest financial exchanges, timed to collapse markets and enable a payout larger than most countries' GDP. He has months to stop it - while staying invisible to the one person capable of finding him.
FBI Special Agent Dana Reyes has spent eighteen months hunting an anonymous source too precise, too consistent, and too good to be an accident. She doesn't know his name. She doesn't know she's about to meet him at a black-tie gala, or that the case of her career is being handed to her, piece by piece, by the man she's trying to catch.
As the walls close in - digital hunters, a professional killer sent to silence him, and Reyes closing in from the other direction - Marc has to protect the people he loves, stop an international conspiracy, and stay a ghost, all without breaking either version of himself.
A propulsive, character-driven thriller about identity, obsession, and the cost of living two lives at once. San Francisco has never felt more dangerous, or more personal.
The Flipside is Book One in a new thriller series.
