The Tech Support Takedown

When a slick cybersecurity consultant is found dead in his ocean-view office-killed by his own overheating laptop-most people call it a tragic accident. Forensic accountant Rick Ellison calls it murder.

In the charming Jersey Shore town of Shorepoint, New Jersey, Rick and his team at Ellison & Partners have been hired to audit the victim's suspiciously high-tech billing records. What starts as a routine financial review quickly turns deadly when Rick discovers the laptop was deliberately rigged to ignite - triggered by the very embezzled contracts the victim was hiding.

With skeptical colleagues rolling their eyes, a supportive wife who runs the best seafood café on the boardwalk, and his journalist daughter feeding him insider tips, Rick must bridge old-school ledgers and cutting-edge tech to catch a killer who's playing deadly games with the numbers.

Warm, witty, and packed with clever twists, *The Tech Support Takedown* is the perfect launch to the *Digital Shores* cozy mystery series. Expect sun-drenched boardwalks, laugh-out-loud banter, a tight-knit ensemble cast that feels like family, and justice served with a side of fresh Jersey Shore charm.
