Praise for the Robin Hood Hacker…
“Encrypted by Carolyn McCray is a fast paced, hair-raising thriller with a cast of fascinating characters. The heroine, Ronnie, has Laura Croft’s moves, Sherlock Holmes’ intellect and Indiana Jones’ charm.”

“From the moment I started reading this book, I was in awe. Encrypted is action packed from the first sentence. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. From hackers, special agents, to the plague, you won’t be able to put this one down until the end!”

More praise for The Robin Hood Hacker series…
“Dan Brown blinked and Carolyn McCray took over. Encrypted is the best thing that I’ve read in the thriller genre, hands down. It’s got history, mysticism, shadowy organizations manipulating world events. Oh, and did I mention the most incredible opposites attract relationship EVER? This novel knocked my socks off.”

“Halting the spread of a weaponized redo of the Black Plague? Intending to plunge the world into a medieval hellish vision of the Hidden Hand? It’s never good when the dead could turn out to be the lucky ones. That’s a lot of responsibility resting on the shoulders of a brilliant cyber hacker and a sexy FBI agent. Makes you wonder who’s calling the shots? God, the angels or a 13th century cult that would make Lucifer blush.”

“I found this book to be just as the title said an action packed techno thriller. I read at least a book a week but this was one of those impossible to put down books. It was well worth the money and based on this book I bought her other book and will be placing the next in her series on my wish list.”

Ronnie stood on her tiptoes as the muzzle of the gun pushed her chin upward. The man berated her in Japanese. Yeah, too bad she didn’t speak Japanese. Of course, her assistant should have been translating for her, but her mic was currently being crushed by the gun.
“ Ta ?” the man asked, grinding the muzzle into her skin.
She didn’t know how she’d gotten into this situation. She didn’t know what the guy wanted. She didn’t know where Zach was.
All she knew was that the guy looked ready to fire.

“Would you slow down, Ronnie?” her assistant asked.
“Um, let me think about that,” Ronnie replied to Quirk. “That would be a ‘no.’”
She was late. Really late. And they both knew what happened the last time she was this late. Zach had been kidnapped. Then the whole stopping-the–rampant-Black-Death thing. Ronnie would rather avoid that whole scenario again if she could. Which meant hauling ass right about now.
“The sensors are just showing the pounding of your not-so-delicate feet.”
Ronnie snugged what might look like a baseball cap tighter onto her head. But it wasn’t a baseball cap at all. It was truly a marvel of modern technology. The fabric of the cap was crisscrossed with fibers that were picking up her mind’s electrical activity.
They were testing out another prototype. Which, of course, meant the thing was not working as it was supposed to. Then again, it was meant to be used in a laboratory setting, not on the mean streets of Micronesia.
She could see the clothing factory just down the street. The North Mariana Islands had been the hub of high fashion clothing construction for decades. But then, with even cheaper Chinese factories, the islands lost their main industry to the
