Description
The scintillating new thriller from the author of the high-octane Ryan Drake series
With no money, no prospects and a long list of computer crimes against his name, Alex Yates's life is going nowhere until he is given a lucrative but dangerous offer - £100,000 to hack into the Central Intelligence Agency's network and recover a file known only as the Black List. At first reluctant to get involved, the disappearance of an old friend leaves Alex with no choice but to return to a world he'd sworn to leave behind. But before he can unlock the secrets contained within the file, he suddenly finds himself the target of an nationwide manhunt. Someone wants him out of the picture fast.
Now plunged into a deadly race against time to recover the Black List, and hunted by police, intelligence operatives and a ruthless covert unit dispatched to take him down, Alex is left with no choice but to accept help from the violent and unpredictable woman who hired him. For in the Black List may lie his salvation, or his death...

Black List – Will Jordan
Would you break the law if it means a pay day of a hundred thousand pounds or so? In ‘Black List’, that is exactly the predicament that Alex Yates finds himself: to hack into the CIA’s network for a file called – ta da! – the Black List. But as these things go, he is then on the run from all kinds of enemies – from the police to the CIA. Hell, even the pizza guy is giving him the stink eye.
As ‘Black List’ progresses, you are pulled into the shadowy world of spies and lies and you find yourself rooting for Alex to survive. Even if its just to stick it to the man.
Will Jordan has a knack for setting a scene and creating a mood of danger and menace. Fantastic!

Alex Yates is not a hero. Alex Yates is still young, sometimes not very smart and other times way too smart. It is by mere coincidence he finds himself travelling all over the world, after his good old friend Arran wanted to meet with him again, after Alex' two years' stint in prison...
An amazing book. It's a pity the books of Will Jordan are as yet not translated into Dutch.
