002 - DeepDive and the first four Stephanie McBride novels
The Stephanie McBride series follows a driven cybercrime detective as she confronts increasingly complex and dangerous cases, while battling personal demons. In The Ghost at the Table, Stephanie is introduced as a skilled but somewhat solitary figure in the cyber world, battling a past betrayal and facing a new, seemingly impossible case. She learns to rely on others, forming a crucial working relationship with Logan. In Cold, Stephanie faces a more complex international threat involving money laundering, and must confront her past losses. She pushes herself relentlessly, blurring the lines between justice and obsession. Shadows sees Stephanie grappling with the responsibility for the safety of those she leads, and questioning her own abilities. She becomes more vulnerable as her past traumas are triggered by the horrors of human trafficking. She is forced to accept help, and rely on her team. In Justice, Stephanie is pushed to her limits as she is targeted directly, both professionally and personally, and becomes increasingly isolated. She confronts her past and her vulnerabilities, and begins to question who she can trust. She must confront her own demons, and struggles with a sense of betrayal. She recognises that her pursuit of justice might come at a high personal cost. Throughout the series, Stephanie experiences significant personal suffering, including the loss of her sons and a strained relationship with her husband, Brett, while facing increasing emotional and psychological challenges as her cases grow more brutal and personal.
