Description
Peter Beamish is recruited into the prestigious consultancy firm Lex Savart following a gruelling series of interviews. Shortly afterwards, major national infrastructure companies are hit by cyber-criminals, demanding vast ransoms in crypto currency.
Before he can help, Peter is let go from Lex Savart with no explanation or warning, and it is only then he starts to question what is really going on and who he can trust. The cyber-criminals are leaving a trail of blood and destruction as they wipe out key witnesses, and Peter fears he may be next.
To save himself, he must get to the bottom of who caused the attacks and why.

Julie C, Reviewer
Riveting read of high tech crime and punishment.
Peter interviews for a high paying tech job in a prestigious consulting firm.
Surprised when he gets the job, he is immediately thrown right into an overseas assignment that
seems above his pay grade and expertise.
When a massive cyber hack threatens many of his firm's clients, Peter, along with all the other new
employees hired when he was, finds himself fired and being considered as the possible ransom hacker.
Suspense builds and non-stop action follows as the story plays on.
Excellent and well defined characters who jump.off the pages.
And the story itself could be headlines in any newspaper or newscast, any day, anywhere in the world.
Very topical and easily relatable in today's very high tech business world.
Unfortunately.
Great read if a bit too technical in jargon every now and again.
