Dr. Kate Deming has spent four brutal years working in a Chicago ER, swinging back and forth from tragedy at work to guilt for what she's missing at home. The prescription is a new job that will allow more time with her growing daughters: an eight-year-old pirate wannabe planning to run away to the high seas, and a twelve-year old expert in eye-rolling and sarcasm who is the star of her middle school's new code breaking team.When a sophisticated ransomware attack paralyzes the hospital's electronic medical record, the hospital pinpoints Kate's computer as the electronic gateway. She thinks it's a misdiagnosis until the FBI raids their apartment and arrests her husband, whose home tech support now appears all but benign. Meanwhile, her daughter's classmate overdoses to get away from a sextortion scheme that her daughter knows too much about. Can Kate crack the code before another child gets hurt? Ann Dominguez lives in Colorado with her husband and children. Her writing has appeared in JAMA and Medical Economics. She was a contributor to Let Us Keep the Feast, published by Doulos Press. Online, her work can be found at The Well, Venn Magazine, and HuffPost, and she's not writing, parenting or doctoring, she enjoys reading and running. She hopes someday to finish a cup of tea before it gets cold
