Breaking the Code: A Shadow Files Thriller (The Shadow Files Thrillers Book 1) Kindle Edition
A Global Emergency. A Desperate Mission.
After a devastating accident ends her career as an Olympic champion, Jewel Carlone reinvents herself as a sought-after photographer. But when she accepts an exclusive assignment in Austria, she finds herself caught in the middle of a global emergency—one that could mean life or death for millions. What was meant to be the opportunity of a lifetime quickly becomes a desperate race against time.
Leal Trelles, a brilliant epidemiologist with a shadowy past, is humanity's last hope against a rapidly spreading epidemic. Hunted by a powerful government agency intent on stopping him at any cost, Leal’s mission takes a dangerous turn when an attempt to extract vital DNA from Jewel goes horribly wrong. Now, Jewel is the unwitting key to solving a pandemic, and she must navigate a perilous path alongside Leal.
As they travel from the snow-capped mountains of Austria to New York and the Himalayas, Jewel and Leal face relentless threats, uncover shocking secrets, and fight against a countdown that could spell disaster. Torn between his duty and growing feelings for Jewel, Leal must make an impossible choice—sacrifice everything to save her, or risk the fate of millions.
Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, Daniel Silva, Michael Crichton, and Lisa Gardner, Breaking the Code combines intense suspense, high-stakes action, and a fierce heroine in a thrilling race to stop a world-changing catastrophe.
If you crave gripping, edge-of-your-seat thrillers with smart twists and unstoppable heroines, then this is for you.

About the author

Rose Sandy is a thriller author who never set out to be a writer but instead to be a communicator with whatever landed in her hands. She is here to entertain you with the same thrillers she loves to read. With a passion for crafting pulse-pounding tales of suspense, espionage, and adventure, Rose's thrillers will transport you to a world of "what ifs?" and help you escape the mundane.
As a communicator at heart, Rose's goal is to make your day more entertaining by giving you stories to get lost in, whether it's during a boring commute or a lazy Sunday afternoon. With a knack for weaving technology, history, and global intelligence together, Rose's thrillers will take you behind the scenes of secret spy organizations, give you a taste of history, new technologies and science through her characters, and transport you to some of the most amazing cities and places in the world.
Rose writes suspense and intelligence thrillers where technology and espionage meet history in pulse-racing action adventure. She dips into the mysteries of our world, the fascination of technology breakthroughs, the secrets of history and global intelligence to deliver thrillers that weave suspense, conspiracy and a dash of romantic thrill.
A true globe-trotter, Rose's thrillers span cities and continents, and her writing approach is to hit hard with a good dose of tension and humor. When not crafting her next page-turner, you can find Rose in the British Library scrutinizing the Magna Carta, trolling Churchill's War Rooms, or sampling the latest gadget. And with a love for deep conversations with ex-military and secret service intelligence officers, Foreign Service staff or engrossed in a TED talk with a box of popcorn, Rose is always on the lookout for that next piece of information that will take her thrillers to the next level.
So join Rose on her thrilling journey and head to www.rosesandy.com for even more information and insights.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016Rose Sandy has shown immense talent in her Decrypter Series. In her new work, The Code Beneath, she ventures even deeper into some of the most challenging questions of our time. Set in a not-so-distant and grippingly realistic future and led by a masterfully crafted heroine, this deeply human thriller will challenge, thrill and entertain you. The author structures her plot like an edge-of-your-seat movie. There are twists and turns, surprises and fascinating discoveries throughout. There are stunning locations, alive with thoroughly researched detail and enigma. Her action-filled, yet very personal writing style creates what we in the movie world call a page turner. I am sure it is only a matter of time until Hollywood will discover Rose Sandy's impressive work.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017This is my third Rose Sandy book and she is now on my "absolutely must read" list! Definitely not the kind of reading to help me fall asleep! Eagerly awaiting the next Calla Cress installment, and wondering if there is more of Jewel & Leal in the future? Warning: do not start any Rose Sandy novel if you think you will be short on time at all. Extremely hard to put down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Page Turning!
As soon as I got through the first couple of pages, I couldn't stop reading. You are captured by the characters from the beginning and the story-line just keeps you going from the beginning to the end. It was exactly the type of book I was looking for. It was easy to read, suspenseful, entertaining, and event when I had the book down I was thinking about Jewel and Leal. Please turn into a movie! Amazing book Rose! Congratulations!

4.0 out of 5 stars Code not used
I really didn't expect to enjoy this book. I was surprised that it grew on me. At some points it was difficult to follow the story line but managed in the end. I was a little distracted by some of the typing errors which I felt should have been picked up by the proofreaders. There were quite a few typos and missed words. All in all I enjoyed the story and would recommend this book.
