FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'Harris is a master of pace and entertainment' Observer

'Could scarcely be more of the moment' The Times

Nothing spreads like fear . . .

In the secretive inner circle of the ultra-rich, Alex Hoffmann is a legend.

He has developed an algorithm for playing the financial markets that generates billions of pounds - and feeds on panic.

When one day his system is threatened by a terrifying intruder who breaches the elaborate security of his lakeside home, his life becomes a waking nightmare of violence and paranoia.

But who is trying to destroy him? And is it already too late?

'There are moments when this book feels so up to date it could have been written next week . . . spookily exciting' Express

Reviews for The Fear Index: From the Sunday Times bestselling author

The Fear Index could scarcely be more of the moment The Times Harris is a master of pace and entertainment, and The Fear Index is a thoroughly enjoyable book ... Read the book. Observer The Fear Index is an escapist thriller to rank with the best of them, and as a guide to what hedge funds actually do, it is surprisingly clear and instructive. Economist There are moments when this book feels so up to date it could have been written next week... spookily exciting. Express I would recommend The Fear Index, the new novel by Robert Harris that delves into the world of modern finance. The writing is as elegant as ever -- Lionel Barber Financial Times
