About the Book:
On June 24, 2012, Dr. Shane Truman Todd, a young American engineer, was found hanging in his Singapore apartment, just a week before his scheduled return to the United States. Although Shane had repeatedly expressed apprehension about his work with a Chinese company and fear his life was being threatened, authorities immediately ruled his death a suicide. His family initially didn t know what to believe.
However, upon arriving in Singapore, they realized the evidence suggested not suicide, but murder. Shane s family later discovered that what they thought was a computer speaker was actually an external hard drive with thousands of files from Shane s computer. The information in those files transformed this story from a tragic suicide to an international saga of mystery, deceit, and cover-up, involving three countries.

My Review:
Mary Todd received a call ob June 24, 2012 that changed her life, forever. Almost immediately after hearing this stunning news, she and her family boarded a plane to Singapore. Singapore, the place that should hold the answers to their son's death. After their son's funeral Mary and her husband start to comb through his belongings only to find a suspicious hard drive that had recently been deleted. What is even more strange is it was deleted after Shane's death. With Shane's death occurring a week before his return to the United States, Mary begins to question the truth behind it all and vows to get to the bottom of her son's death---no matter who she has to fight to get it.
After hearing about this story in the media, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the book. I feel so bad for this family and all they have been through. I pray that they will see justice served and will finally get some peace through all of this.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher.
