Theft. Extortion. Dinner with Dad.

Lola McKenzie never wanted to steal from her dodgy boss.  

But she also never wanted to be stuck in a dead-end job, paying off her dad’s debts. 

So when she sees a bag of cash sitting around unattended at work, she figures it’s time to make life a little easier. Only, the next day her boss is missing, presumed dead – and it won’t take a genius to figure out Lola is involved.  

Turns out that Lola’s pinched more than a bag of cash … nestled at the bottom of the bag was a USB drive that could be either a curse or an opportunity.  

Lola doesn’t know what’s on it, only that it’s important enough for the local cops and the local crooks to come looking for it.   

Is it a magnet for trouble? Or her ticket out of the hard life? All she has to do is figure out a way to sell it to the highest bidder without revealing her identity.  

Should be easy, right?
