Vanishing Load: The Vegas Shield - Book 10

In the glittering city of sin, the greatest heist in history is just the beginning...When an autonomous cash-shuttle carrying $200 billion in international reserves disappears during a high-security transfer in Las Vegas, Detective Mira Reyes faces her most challenging case yet. The shuttle's LiDAR systems have been spoofed by revolutionary mirror technology, creating the perfect vanishing act and triggering a global financial crisis.

With only 48 hours before automated financial systems trigger catastrophic market sell-offs, Mira must navigate a treacherous web of international politics and cutting-edge technology. The stakes couldn't be higher-national economies teeter on the brink of collapse, and accusations between world powers threaten to escalate into military conflict.

Caught between Alexander Chen's brilliant but morally ambiguous methods and Commander Vance Harrington's by-the-book military approach, Mira must decide who to trust. As evidence implicating multiple governments surfaces and the collective consciousness monitoring financial systems shows signs of compromise, the line between ally and enemy blurs with each passing hour.

From hypersonic drone chases through Hoover Dam to underwater confrontations beneath the Strip and stratospheric battles above the city, Mira's investigation pushes her physical and mental limits. With military forces from multiple nations converging on Las Vegas and the countdown to financial armageddon ticking away, she'll need to make impossible choices-about the case, about her loyalties, and about her heart.

In this tenth installment of the acclaimed Vegas Shield series, author MAINA J.K delivers the most technologically sophisticated and geopolitically complex case yet, where solving the crime might be just the beginning of Mira's problems.

Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Daniel Suarez, this white-knuckle techno-thriller combines cutting-edge science with heart-pounding action and international intrigue.
