Washington where nothing is what it seems. Not knowing that can cost you your life. True, middle-aged Jack Halpin knew little of the internet, neither its potential nor its danger. Notwithstanding that, how could he possibly have foreseen the impact it would have on his life? Once an up and coming senior executive, Jack is on a downward career and personal trajectory. His beliefs and all the vestiges of his career and privileged family life are challenged as he is submerged in a dangerous world for which he is ill prepared. A member of the Fairfax Gun Club, Jack is a traditionalist who believes in the right to bear arms, law and order. He has a strained relationship with his wife Poppy, the daughter of respected Senator Jock Kessles, a man who is deeply disappointed in his unsuccessful son-in-law. Unknown to Jack, the mysterious death of a senator is the signature tune to a traumatic change in his world and everything he has taken for granted. Surviving the onslaught of rapid, life or death challenges and the sinister forces facing him, will require all his resolve. This journey will bring him face to face with murder, political intrigue, depravity and betrayal. The answer to Jack’s dilemma lies somewhere in the internet. If he is to survive, he will first need to uncover a conspiracy which runs right to the heart of the Senate. Then he needs to figure out what to do with that knowledge which has left a trail of murders in its wake. How could a life, so ordinary, turn so quickly? Reviews: "This is a very fast paced book. Even if you do not know anything about computers, even if you do not believe in conspiracy theories, this is an excellent action book. From blackmail to child abuse , rotten cops & rotten politicians, money laundering , betrayal, patriotism and murder, you have it all. And unexpectedly, a tiny touch of romance from people you would not think of." "It was a very fast moving and excellent story. I thought that the author covered some unpleasant aspects in the story without going into too much detail, which made it a more pleasant read for me personally." "This author has an amazing grasp of his subject. One of the most interesting and educating thrillers I've read in a long time." “A conspiracy story that will have you at the edge of your seat until the end.”
