The Secrets They Kept - Paperback

Natalie Walsh has her entire life in front of her. She is about to graduate from Stanford University with a degree in cyber security and computer science. Her dream job is to be a hacker who works alongside law enforcement in the human and sex trafficking division. Her entire world turned upside-down when the summer before her senior year, CIA agents showed up at her door. They found out that Natalie hacked into their database and stole secret files that highlighted illegal experiments that the agents were conducting.

Deciding she needs to expose the agency, Natalie becomes a fugitive. Convinced by her high school sweetheart, she goes on the run and works to gather as many documents and files as she can that detail exactly what these two agents are up to. Along the way, she meets a broody Elijah Walker, with unexplainable skills with weapons. He joins her in her mission to expose the CIA's illegal dealings. Together, they find out that the CIA's illegal activity goes deeper than just the experiments. In a fight through secrets, betrayal, heartbreak, and forbidden love, Natalie must get the files in the public eye and save the innocent people who have been taken as unwilling participants in the experiments.
