Written By Megin Potter
Suspense sizzles in The Shady Side of Saratoga, the recently released debut novel by author Richard Cobello, a former Saratoga TODAY magazine contributor who uses his 40+ year career in cybersecurity, and his background in enterprise technology, to create realistic portrayals of how nonprofit data can be manipulated in Saratoga, a town simmering with secrets.
In this fast-paced contemporary cybercrime thriller, Cobello blends high-stakes digital espionage with mystery and intrigue, while introducing us to Catherine King, a senior FBI cybersecurity investigator tasked with rooting out a criminal enterprise hidden in the data’s shadows.
This book is the first of five in the Catherine King Enigmatic Quest series, where, to solve the crime, this plucky analyst must uncover the secrets lurking within the digital infrastructure - and risk it all - in a place where gamblers grandstand, while the underpinnings of a sinister underworld linger in the rarified air.
At the oldest track in America, tradition, wealth, and modern interests collide in dangerous ways. Among so much high society and old money is hiding a threat that’s all too real. As Catherine wages a silent battle against those who make quiet allowances for digital discrepancies, and corruption is a legacy as much as it is a way of life, she must unmask those willing to avoid disruption at all costs.
Find The Shady Side of Saratoga on Amazon, through Ingram Spark, and at Northshire Bookstore, 424 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, where author, Richard Cobello, will be hosting a launch event, reading, and book signing at 2 p.m. on September 5. For updates, follow @authorrichardcobello on Facebook.
