Canvas Code - a Declassified File thriller

Jack Kincaid is trying to keep his head down, nursing old wounds and unwelcome memories aboard his boat, the Sea Witch, anchored in the Florida Keys. He knows the Ouroboros conspiracy is still out there, but he wants no part of it. That changes when an anxious museum curator hires him for a job that smells wrong from the start: investigate the theft of valuable modern paintings from a private collection. The curator whispers paranoid theories about encoded messages hidden within the art itself, a communication channel for elite hackers. Kincaid is ready to walk away – until he sees the Ouroboros symbol left behind at the scene.

Reluctantly diving back into the game, Kincaid adopts the persona of 'Robert Cole,' an eccentric, deep-pocketed art collector. He immerses himself in the colorful, treacherous Key West art scene – a world of exclusive galleries, private dealers, and sun-drenched deception. His investigation quickly confirms the worst: a highly sophisticated art forgery ring, protected by ruthless syndicate operatives, is embedding CANVAS CODE into flawless replicas. This isn't just data smuggling; it's the final key for a devastating cyber attack aimed at crippling the SWIFT banking network and igniting global financial chaos.

Forced into a dangerously uneasy alliance with 'Sparrow,' the brilliant but terrified coder coerced by the syndicate into weaponizing the art, Kincaid must race against an imminent deadline. He navigates high-stakes private auctions, tracks elusive cybercriminals posing as art aficionados, and infiltrates the syndicate's hidden forgery studio. But just as he closes in, a stunning betrayal leaves him exposed and fighting for survival. His only chance lies in a desperate pursuit culminating in an explosive showdown aboard a fleeing yacht carrying the final key. With the global economy hanging in the balance, can Kincaid decipher the secrets in the code and prevent the attack in time?
