Sorcha Mahoney

About

Vintage vinyl and cybersecurity collide in Sorcha's world—where jazz records spin as loudly as her hacking algorithms unravel systems. With fingers that translate binary like poetry and a playlist of forgotten Miles Davis tracks, she hunts digital vulnerabilities with the same precision a sommelier selects rare wine.

Backstory

Nobody expected the city's most notorious hacker to emerge from a traveling jazz orchestra, but Sorcha Mahoney learned her first lessons in improvisation watching her parents weave melodies that could make audiences weep or revolt. When the orchestra's bus crashed on a rain-soaked highway outside New Orleans, killing everyone except twelve-year-old Sorcha and her infant sister Lyra, she discovered that survival required the same fluid adaptability as jazz—except her new instrument was code, and her stage was the digital underworld. The insurance company's refusal to pay out her parents' policy became her first target, a symphony of revenge that exposed their systematic fraud and launched her career as a chaos-bringer with a conscience. Louis found her three years later, sleeping in server rooms and living off vending machine raids, already notorious for taking down corrupt officials with the same improvisational genius her parents had poured into their music.
