Ransom

When a virus strikes, it's only the beginning.

Stephanie Ross runs a successful computer support business in Bristol, solving other people's problems with calm efficiency. But when a wave of ransomware attacks sweeps through her clients-and then cripples her own network-she finds herself at the centre of something far more dangerous than a routine cyber threat.

As systems fail and data is held hostage, the attacks begin to look less like random infections and more like a coordinated assault. Someone is targeting her business. Someone who knows exactly what they're doing.

Then Louis J. Madison walks through her door.

Claiming legal ownership of her debts-and her company-Madison seizes control with ruthless precision, leaving Stephanie fighting to hold onto everything she has built. With her livelihood under threat and her world unravelling, she must uncover who is behind the attacks, how they are connected, and what Madison really wants.

From the streets of Bristol to the hidden world of cybercrime, Ransom is a gripping techno-thriller of sabotage, power, and survival-where the greatest danger isn't the virus, but the people controlling it.
