About this eBook
The email pinged again. The attachment was a picture of the door to her flat. She reeled. Clasping her hand to her mouth as she retched again.
When Rachel is spurred to use her computing skills to find an abducted boy, she has no idea that it will bring her to the attention of an anonymous vigilante. Is the vigilante what he seems and what does he want with Rachel?
Rachel is coerced by the mysterious D.E.M. to carry out hacking on seemingly innocuous companies, helped by her friends Deborah, Cam and Cam’s ill-tempered boss, Dave.
As she gets drawn deeper into their world, she tries to find out more, only to put herself and her friends in grave danger.
When she finally realises that the mysterious D.E.M. isn’t a vigilante at all, Rachel is in a race against time to save her friends and prevent an escalation in the war between Israel and Palestine.
“It was never about the money, Rachel. It was always about you. I could use someone with your skills. I’ll be in touch. I know where you live. D.E.M.”

This book grabs your attention from the first page. Intriguing, well crafted, easy to read and even funny at times! The topic is very much to my liking so I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. My only criticism would be that, what I expected to discover at the end of the book was revealed in the middle. What is it? Well… you should read the book to find out. ;)

Great book for fellow geeks ..... techy but not too complicated. ..... fast paced and a nice mix of humour and tension .... what's next is the big question.
