This was an introduction to a new character and their universe.  Overall it was a pretty good book.  I'll probably read more from this series in the future.

Baldacci has created another crime solving character with skills and knowledge that are current with today's tech, crypto, & NFT. Good cops, bad cops, corrupt politicians, and criminal enterprises all have a part to play in this tense, suspenseful, and slightly troubling crime drama.
