A techno-thriller with wit and style. It reminded me of Chris Brookmyre, and praise doesn't come higher than that. Gripping, intelligent and stylish. Punchy, powerful and one hell of a wild ride, this is thriller writing at its absolute best A sharp thriller that takes us deep into the digital underworld. Taut and tense . . . a well told, fast-paced story packed with contemporary relevance A tight, fast-moving thriller. Like Three Days of the Condor for the internet age If espionage today is all about hack and counter-hack, which it clearly is, then Tom Chatfield has just written the classic twenty-first century spy thriller. Move over James Bond: Azi Bello has hacked your smartphone and he owns you. Fast and funny, dangerous and blinding-bright . . . an adrenaline-rush of a book for our menacing times a seething knot of spies, hackers, terrorists, tech and humans: absolutely brilliant.
