Ryan Caldwell flags suspicious wire transfers for a living. He never expected one of them to come looking for him.
When a routine compliance review at a small North Carolina bank turns up a laundering scheme reaching from a fake construction invoice to the edge of a U.S. election, Ryan has two choices: report it and hope somebody believes him, or follow the money himself. He picks the second one - and the money doesn't want to be found.
Recruited into an off-the-books task force alongside a CIA officer with her own reasons not to trust easy answers, Ryan trades the quiet cockpit of his Piper Warrior for the real turbulence of an international conspiracy: a Paris bank vault, a gun in a D.C. hotel room, a compound outside Moscow built on eleven years of patience. He's not a spy. He's not a soldier. He's a man who reads numbers for a living and flies for the quiet - and he's about to learn that some debts get collected in person.
The man behind the scheme isn't the one Ryan should be worried about. She's still out there, still patient, and she's just learned his name.
Shadows Over the Blue Ridge is Book One of the Ryan Caldwell series - a technothriller for readers who like their heroes competent, their villains patient, and their skies occasionally on fire.
