Paradise Crime Thrillers Book 1
For fans of Lisbeth Salander and Jack Reacher—meet Sophie Ang. She never gives up on a case. Never.
“Persistently riveting. Masterly.” —Kirkus Reviews
Sophie Ang is a hacker, an MMA fighter, a domestic violence survivor, and an FBI special agent who likes children and animals better than people. She fled the violence of her past to build a new life in Hawaii—a life she controls from behind a screen, hunting predators through code with her yellow lab Ginger at her feet and no one else allowed close.
Then a child kidnapping case lands on her desk—and cracks her open.
The missing child stirs memories Sophie has spent years burying. She can't let go. She won't. But as she digs deeper, her own rogue data analysis program surfaces a pattern she wasn't looking for: a digital ghost, a vigilante hacker operating in the shadows with skills that rival her own. What begins as a kidnapping investigation becomes a cat-and-mouse game across encrypted networks—one that's pulling Sophie out of her safe digital world and straight back toward the violence she thought she'd escaped.
To survive what's coming, she'll need her MMA training, her hacking instincts, her friends on the island, and every ounce of the stubbornness that makes her challenging to work with and impossible to stop.
Paradise can't protect her. Nothing can. But Sophie Ang doesn't need protection. She needs answers.

I highly recommend this entire series. Sophie is an intelligent and courageous woman coming back from a twisted childhood, surprising herself at times with her own resiliency. And the mystery and romance are an added treat. I have the entire series on my tablet and Sophie and Lei go everywhere with me. ????

This was an interesting book with plenty of action and interesting twists. Although it’s inferred it’s still not clear who the ghost was. I hope that it’s revealed in future books of this series.
