Synopsis

The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret Service is a patriotic British 1903 novel by Erskine Childers.
It is a novel that "owes a lot to the wonderful adventure novels of writers like Rider Haggard, that were a staple of Victorian Britain"; perhaps more significantly, it was a spy novel that "established a formula that included a mass of verifiable detail, which gave authenticity to the story – the same ploy that would be used so well by John Buchan, Ian Fleming, John le Carré and many others." Ken Follett called it "the first modern thriller."

    "Daring, exciting, and utterly unpredictable." - Kathy Wang, author of Imposter Syndrome 
    Journalist Lou McCarthy has spent her career exposing powerful predators in Silicon Valley. Her crusade has cost her everything: Her apartment, friends, relationships, and any hope of promotion. And for what? Readers don't care, her boss and workmates pity her, and the billionaire bro-ciopaths she writes about continue to fail upwards.

    🔢 Knitting shop owner and counting tool designer Countessa Click is launching her new line of digital row counters when the product's manufacturing partner—a notorious cut-throat business executive—is found dead in her shop, surrounded by row counters all displaying the same suspicious number sequence. The police suspect a heart attack, but Countessa notices the numbers form a Fibonacci pattern and the victim's production notes contain coded quality control reports. With her product launch in jeopardy and the knitting community counting on her, Countessa must tally up the clues. Assisted by her knitting math club and the handsome engineer analyzing mechanical failures, Countessa uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit counters, stolen technology, and a plot to sabotage small knitting tool companies. From suspicious reset mechanisms that reveal planned obsolescence to digital displays that don't match factory specifications, every counted row tells a story. But when Countessa discovers the victim was systematically installing faulty chips in competitors' products to undermine their reputation, she realizes the killer is protecting crafters from inferior tools more valuable than any corporate profit. With the knitting tool expo approaching and the real saboteur still counting on deception, Countessa must calculate the truth before her own business gets permanently subtracted from the market.
