Raven.
Robert T. Kelley’s forthcoming thriller.
In 1990—at the end of the cold war and beginning of the internet—Mev Hayes, an aspiring MIT graduate student, becomes a target when her mentor tricks her into stealing technology secrets for the Soviet Union.
Special Agent of the FBI Paul Ostrowski, struggling with computers and his career, digs into both the espionage and Mev’s troubled past. As threats from the Russians, the FBI, and even Boston’s Irish Mob pile up, Mev relies on friends and the hacker underground to stay one step ahead of the investigation and to outwit and out-maneuver them all.
Coming soon from High Frequency Press (2025).
Advance praise for Raven.

Step into the cauldron of ambitious dreams and brilliant minds at a world-class MIT computer lab, and let the games begin! RAVEN by Robert T. Kelley is an engrossing brew!””
