Katie at 26: Just when it seemed like life was settling down for Katie Rose Fowler in her new university teaching career, Katie's college boyfriend, Chris Miller, is found dead in a Santa Barbara hotel room. Katie has reason to suspect that he has been murdered. Teaming up with a local homicide detective and her new boyfriend, Jeff, they learned that Chris was working on an investigative story about a super-secret spy technology. Efforts to keep it secret had already resulted in three other murders carried out by an unknown rogue intelligence alliance. A trail of death and disappearances is uncovered by the cop, a newspaper reporter, Katie and Jeff. They gradually peel back the layers of a broad conspiracy that reach the highest levels of government. Then they become targets for elimination themselves. After multiple attempts on their lives, it turns into a race for survival unless they can expose the perpetrators of the murderous cabal before they fall victim to it.
