The hapless hacker, Ted Hara, has to find the password to open a terrorist document he discovers on a murdered friend\u2019s computer. In the process, he uncovers a dangerous government conspiracy. <\/p>\n<p>Kirkus Reviews raves, \u201cA gripping high-stakes drama infused with a dash of humor.\u201d Their verdict: \u201cGet it!\u201d Bestselling author Barry Lancet calls it a, \u201cA heart-pounding romp,\u201d and declares, \u201cRead it,\u201d while the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, Iris Yamashita, says the novel \u201cmelds the humor of <em>Silicon Valley <\/em>with the fast-paced action of a John Grisham thriller.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Countdown to Decryption<\/em> is Book 2 in the Japantown Mystery series. The first book in the series, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3VqHTF2\"><em>To Kill a Unicorn<\/em><\/a>, was named American Fiction Awards finalist for Best Debut Novel and Best Mystery of 2023, as well as National Indie Excellence Awards finalist for Best Suspense and Best West Region fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Being published by an independent press is a huge challenge. Unlike books from the big publishers, Oprah won\u2019t feature it and the NY Times won\u2019t write a review.
