Some layovers are deadlier than others...
Flight attendant Skye Lennox was hoping for a relaxing winter layover in the Big Apple—shopping, sightseeing, and maybe catching a Broadway show with her crew. But when tech mogul Victor Langley is found dead inside his supposedly "unhackable" smart apartment, Skye and her fellow flight attendants find themselves drawn into a deadly web of corporate espionage, digital surveillance, and high-tech murder.
As building systems across Manhattan begin mysteriously malfunctioning, trapping innocent people inside elevators and sending climate controls haywire, Skye realizes that someone has weaponized the city's "smart grid" infrastructure. Working alongside gruff NYPD Detective Jack O'Malley, Skye's crew must navigate the cutthroat world of tech startups, venture capital, and corporate sabotage.
Each team member brings unique skills to the investigation: Henry's surprising background in computer security, Jemma's knack for social connections, and Aidan's calm under pressure. But when the team discovers a second murder at a tech incubator'''and then receives personalized digital threats warning them to stop investigating—they realize they've become targets themselves.
Can Skye and her crew expose the killer and shut down a far-reaching tech conspiracy before the entire city falls under digital attack? And will they make their return flight, or will this New York layover be their last?
NEW YORK SHUTDOWN is the fourth book in the delightful Skye Lennox Mystery series, where first-class flight attendants solve first-rate murders during their international layovers. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with clever amateur sleuths, technological twists, and a dash of workplace camaraderie.
"Boarding now for mystery, intrigue, and danger at thirty thousand feet and beyond!"
