Shadow Raider is book #2 of the duology The Clone-zone Cycle, comprising Shadow Hacker and Shadow Raider.

After Julian Donaldson’s fiancée is brutally slain in a car-bomb attack, plainly aimed at him, not her, police whisk him away to a small country town in Outback Queensland under Witness Protection laws.  He is forced to accept a new identity – he becomes Jamie MacDonald.  He loses his family business, home, family connections and all childhood associations.  He becomes an unwilling recluse.

He has to spend two years in that small country town, just staying out of sight, before he can move to a city of his choice to start building a new life.  He uses those two years to review all his unique technology used to help police to catch criminals, research the foundations of a new business he might pursue, as well as come to terms with his grief.  Once allowed to buy a new home, he chooses Toowoomba, a small city about 130 kilometers from his old home in Brisbane.

Once again, he becomes a ‘Shadow Raider’ for the Brisbane police, going where they aren’t allowed to go, invisibly to his victims, to search for incriminating evidence that he can provide to justify an application for a Search Warrant.  Once the police find the evidence that Jamie had already found in his shadow raids, prosecution can follow.  But, as before, most police are suspicious of the evidence – they strongly suspect that it is obtained by illegal methods, and his skill as a known hacker also makes them regard him with suspicion.  Jamie has a difficult working relationship with them.

And the Brisbane criminal fraternity, once shadow raids resume, once again have good reason to want Jamie MacDonald dead.
