Summary

Summary

When Tanya Barrett takes an internship at MapOut, she expects emotional landmines. Her father co-founded the digital mapping company, and he died for it--on a cartographic expedition he didn't even need to take. Her father's business partner and his son, Connor, welcome her. Connor may be the only person who can make Tanya feel normal these days. But Tanya and Connor stumble onto a deadly secret, and the next day Connor disappears. It's soon clear that people at MapOut are willing to kill for what they discovered. Alone again--and on the run--Tanya must rely on her wits to find out what happened to him. In the world MapOut envisions, no one stays lost for long.

“Bomback and Craze whip up a suspense-laden, modern mystery that pulls on the current obsession with technology, mapping, and tracking people’s locations—and how innocently supplied data can be turned to a darker purpose.” Booklist
