Mash-Up Russell — Ray Johnson

High tech meets hard-boiled in Mash-Up, a deep fake detective noir that blends international espionage, Hollywood intrigue and generative A.I. in a stiff shot of mayhem and murder. Samantha Sam Cache, a government hacker turned online gumshoe, scrapes by cracking penny ante ransomware beefs until her former NSA handler draws her into an irresistible mystery... who hacked Mary Poppins? On the path of a rogue artificial intelligence, Sam takes on tinsel town wanna-be's, transhuman cultists, and a blood thirsty business mogul in a race to crack the cyber case of the century. Mash-Up is Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by way of The Big Sleep, a darkly humorous story that launches a new breed of private eye with her finger on the pulse of the not so distant future.
