The Blockchain Killing

In a world where blockchain governs power, one betrayal could collapse nations-or redeem a shattered heart.

Alec Chenais, a super-coder turned NSA contractor, believes his blockchain security software will safeguard democracy. But when Aamna "AJ" Jaffrey-his brilliant lover and coding partner-turns up dead after a mysterious deal with libertarian billionaire Elliot Perry, Alec's ideals crumble. Drawn into a labyrinth of corporate espionage, AJ's code becomes the key to a global power grab. As Perry's shadowy network hijacks elections and destabilizes currencies, Alec races to expose the truth, only to discover AJ's death hinges on a deadly family secret in Pakistan.

Haunted by grief and pursued by assassins, Alec allies with enigmatic French hacker Ludivine Moureaux, whose razor-sharp instincts hide her own agenda. From San Francisco to Paris, they infiltrate a digital war where code is the only loyalty and trust is the ultimate vulnerability. But when Alec uncovers AJ's hidden kill switch in the software, he faces an unthinkable choice: burn the system to ashes-or weaponize it for justice.

As cyberattacks trigger real-world chaos, Alec and Ludivine confront a moral abyss: exploit the code to crash Perry's system-or become the very monsters they hunt.
