From the back cover of the paperback edtion:

George Simm, friend of the US President and well-respected online business guru, leads a double life...

...until he is murdered in Thailand.

For Kate O'Sullivan, a freelance journalist, his death provides the scoop of her dreams when her computer genius brother discovers Simm's dark secret - by hacking into the CIA's confidential report on the killing.

Kate sells the story to a UK tabloid newspaper, setting in motion a bloody chain of events that destroys many lives, and threatens her own.

With a serial killer on the loose in Thailand, the CIA on the hunt for Kate's brother, and ruthless men in London determined not to let Simm's death expose their own paedophile activities, Kate's world will never be the same again...

The Hack is a unique suspense thriller, offering plenty of action and adventure, well developed characters, and a complex plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Contains hard-hitting realism some readers may find disturbing.
