Code Reaper (Mega-city Crimes, #2) / Mega-city Crimes (ePub)

In a digital world, who strips your online presence when you die so no one can steal your assets, ruin your name, or destroy your family after your death?

Kaisha is an elite Code Reaper for Divisiom Enterprises, helping to sever digital ties of the dead and protect their life's achievements from hackers. After the mysterious murder of her parents, Kaisha sticks to the shadows, burning the existence of the less fortunate, like them, from the online realm.

Kaisha has learned to protect herself and the assets of the lower classes while she works. She has no desire for the cushy life of a Corporate Code Reaper. Even a simple hack can ruin an entire family.

When a major corporate player, Mr. Deranth, unexpectedly summons her to wipe his digital slate, she's stunned. But Deranth has picked her for a reason. It isn't supposed to be his time to die.

Kaisha finds herself chasing a trail of early deaths, trying to find signs of murder in the code. Divisiom wants her to leave it alone and just do her job. When she won't stop, Divisiom hunts her down.

Teaming up with Holt, one of Mr. Deranth's guards, Kaisha discovers a dark truth behind the corporate leader's murder, one that opens her eyes to a powerful virus coursing through the underground. With cybersquads after her, Kaisha must pull from every skill set to find the source before its evidence is erased forever.

Can she stop the virus before she becomes the next client on another Code Reaper's scrub list?

"Mandated technology and government interference with society's rights lead to theft, dishonesty, and corruption, as the poor and most vulnerable segment of society suffers. Freedom, the power to choose, and personal privacy are all at risk in a world where greed overtakes the purpose of living."

"E L Strife's Code Reaper is a mystery packed with interesting visions of our future with technology: Augmentation addiction, swarms of miniature drones spying on every move you make, and Code Reapers--It'll give you a whole new world to think about."
