Dark Data by Douglas J Wood

August 14 and September 11 were the last two of a string of dates on Lori Torchia's list. But nothing in the chronology seemed to correspond to them. Then it hit reporter Rebecca Taft. 'The dates are in the future. Lori's telling us that there will be terrorist attacks on August 14 and September 11 ' Taft felt sick to her stomach.

Paula Jankovic is a willing tool of Constantine Petrenko, a Russian oligarch with a penchant for world domination and insatiable greed. Using a superstorm of dark data and fake news, Jankovic has become skilled at harnessing the power of the mysterious Selfish Ledger and personal social media accounts to get innocent people to do her bidding, however horrible it may be. Abu al-Badri is a terrorist leader who wants to further his cause. By aligning himself with the same wealthy benefactor, he has all he needs to access top targets around the world to wreak unimaginable violence and destruction.

Together Jankovic and al-Badri unleash a coordinated attack that is designed to leave societies and financial markets in ruins and no one richer or more powerful than the Russian standing at the top.
