The Master Code

An eclectic near-future murder-mystery-drama morphs over 10 days into an action-packed sci-fi conspiracy-thriller ending with a bang! A Southern rural river community is suddenly overwhelmed by a series of accidents and deaths, but are all these events somehow tied to a dam break, the murder of an old riverman, and a fish? Can Sheriff Coleman of Charles County solve this puzzling case with the reluctant help of Jason Dickson, an autistic engineering student and convicted computer hacker facing a life sentence if he ever hacks again? What discovery is so great they risk their lives, and everyone they love, to reveal to the world? Can you decipher the Master Code with Jason too?
