When a blue whale tagged with a web-cam designed with stolen defense technology broadcasts a brutal murder at sea as part of a television nature program, Special Agent Tara Shores finds herself navigating an ocean of manipulation and deceit in a deadly race to reach the 100-ton creature roaming the Pacific before an unknown killer can destroy the digital evidence it carries.
As Shores dives deeper into the case, what she initially dismisses as a publicity stunt for the glitzy reality series soon sweeps her out to sea in a riptide of greed, intrigue, and high-tech crime.
"A whale of a tale by first-time author Rick Chesler involving
modern-day pirates, media moguls, and a sexy federal agent -- all
chasing a cetacean-mounted camcorder and the crucial piece of evidence
needed to resolve a murder."
-- Steve Alten, NY Times bestselling author of GRIM REAPER and MEG
"WIRED KINGDOM is a fast-paced thriller that is one third
deep-sea adventure, one third FBI sleuthing and one third awesome. A
superb debut novel and killer concept."
-- Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and INSTINCT.
