Book description
Cutting-edge international thriller follow-up to The Insider, set in
the world of hackers, techno-thieves and inside traders, for fans of
John Grisham
Approached to crack a safe by the owner's suspicious wife, reformed
hacker Henrietta 'Harry' Martinez can't resist the challenge. Now her
client's absconded with a fortune in diamonds, leaving Harry sole
witness to a brutal murder. And next in line for a ruthless assassin who
doesn't like loose ends.
The police are unconvinced, suspicious of Harry's past, and not even an
attempt on her life can sway them. It's up to Harry to track down her
mystery client. The trail leads from a top racing yard to a smuggling
operation in the illegal South Africa world of conflict diamonds.
To get to the truth requires all her secret skills. But in a business
populated by bloodthirsty mercenaries and financed by ruthless
exploitation, how can Harry, alone and abroad, pull off her most
audacious heist ever? 'What a delight…. the tang of authenticity comes
