    It's the summer of '74 . . . Richard Nixon has resigned from office, CB radios are the hot new thing, and in the great state of Texas two cousins hatch a plan to drive $1 million worth of stolen weed to Idaho, where some lunatic is gearing up to jump Snake River Canyon on a rocket-powered motorcycle. But with a vengeful sheriff on their tail and the revered and feared marijuana kingpin of Central Texas out to get his stash back, Chuck and Dean are in for the ride of their lives—if they can make it out alive . . . 
     
     
     
    Scott Von Doviak, longtime pop-culture journalist for The A. V. Club, Film Threat, the Hollywood Reporter, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, made a splash with his debut novel, Charlesgate Confidential, which Stephen King called "terrific" and "a fun machine . . . the white-knuckle kind." With Lowdown Road, he cements his reputation for pedal-to-the-metal storytelling that also makes you think about just who we are and where our darker roads might lead us.

    Northern England, 2047. Jack Sladen, tech billionaire and local hero, is coming back to his roots. Cameron Silvera, hacker legend, doesn’t trust him. Is Jack out to save the world, or to destroy it? 
    The Sladen Foundation DAO seems like a great idea, but Cameron, the SimCavalier, has spent much of her infosec career tidying up the bugs and exploits in Jack’s software. Can he be trusted with this new venture, and why does he want Cameron’s help? 
    A new cybercrime outfit known as Steamyard is wreaking havoc in the digital realm and Cameron’s team are working all hours to keep their attacks at bay. As they dig deeper, they discover a disturbing connection between the Steamyard, the Sladen Foundation, and a convict held in isolation at the high-tech Way House Prison – a criminal artificial intelligence jailed two years previously for attacks on Cameron and her family. 
    Cameron knows that the only way to protect herself and her loved ones is to keep the rogue AI behind bars, but black hat hackers have other plans. As the Sladen Foundation celebrates its launch, the cybercriminals activate their diabolical plan. Cameron and the Argentum team are in a race against time to stop the creation of a monster that threatens to take down everything they hold dear.
