Synthetic Identity

In a world built on lies, the only identity that matters is the one you're willing to die for. Danny Tyler walked away from his family's criminal empire four years ago. He built a clean life, put distance between himself and the schemes that made the Tylers one of South Florida's most connected families. He was done. Then his brother Randy called. The job was synthetic identity fraud. Not petty cons or stolen credit cards. A sophisticated operation that exploits the cracks in America's financial infrastructure to manufacture people who exist only on paper and move money that vanishes like smoke. Danny had the technical skills to build the system. More importantly, he had the instincts to keep his family from getting caught. But the Tylers weren't the only ones watching. The CIA had been tracking Danny's work for months. They didn't want to shut him down. They wanted to weaponize him. Their offer was simple: cooperate or watch your family go to prison. They sent Laura Donovan to control him. Smart, relentless, and hiding secrets of her own, Laura was supposed to keep Danny on a leash. Instead, she became his partner, his co-conspirator, and the one person in his life more dangerous than he is. Together they're running operations from Miami to Vienna, building something that neither the Agency nor the Tylers ever anticipated. But the walls are closing in. A Russian enforcer named Dmitri Kovalenko wants the Tyler family destroyed. FBI Agent Marcus Webb is assembling a case that could bring them all down. And Danny's CIA handler is beginning to realize that his most valuable asset has become his biggest threat. Danny Tyler built fake people for a living. Now he has to decide which version of himself survives. Synthetic Identity is the first book in The Tyler Network Series. For fans of Breaking Bad, Ozark, and Catch Me If You Can.
