The Helyx Job
by Lenora Huxley
Published 2025
4.5/5
A fortress of glass and steel. Data worth killing for. One man hired to take it all. Cassian is a professional thief in the digital age—methodical, precise, untouchable. When he’s contracted to infiltrate the unbreachable Helyx Tower and steal from its most secure servers, he knows the risks. Armed with nothing but his skills and his reputation, he prepares for another flawless job. But inside the tower’s shadows, nothing goes according to plan. Mercenaries stalk the halls, hidden agendas collide, and Cassian finds himself tangled in a web far more dangerous than promised. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes: the real threat isn’t the security systems or the bullets—it’s the secrets waiting to be uncovered. The Helyx Job is a cyber-heist thriller of precision, betrayal, and survival, where every move counts and trust doesn’t exist.

Finding a single assassin in a city of nine million is daunting. Finding five is a nightmare. Join the NYPD Red team in their most explosive case ever. The series from James Patterson and Marshall Karp has always been a must-read. But Karp’s latest, NYPD Red 7: The Murder Sorority, tops them all, making it a must-read-now! Lower Manhattan: A sniper’s bullet ends the life of a high-profile New Yorker. Five miles uptown, a second prominent victim has his throat slashed. And that’s only the beginning. A network of professional assassins is on the loose in New York City. Trained by the US military, they’re on their own now, with a new unit called Kappa Omega Delta. Killers On Demand. NYPD Red detectives Kylie MacDonald and Zach Jordan are called in to hunt them down, but these mercenaries are as gifted in the art of escape as they are in snuffing out lives. It’s the biggest professional challenge the Red team has ever faced, and before it’s over, both Kylie’s and Zach’s personal lives will change. Forever.
