Then: terrorists bombed the City, brought down the Internet and equalized the nation's bank accounts to zero.

Now: surveillance cameras on every street-corner, their tireless gaze linked to an artificial intelligence system.  Censors patrolling the borders of the Internet.  A young woman murdered before the gaze of eager voyeurs ...

In the ruins of smashed computers around her body, a detective inspector sidelined to a backwater department seizes on the chance to play a part in this high-profile murder case.  He needs to prove to himself that he's some kind of hero, but soon he's caught up in a web of intrigue.  Why was Sophie Booth's murder broadcast over the Internet?  What is the link between her murder and London's new surveillance system?  Who is the self-styled 'Avenger' who communicates anonymously from Cuba?

'A winner - a deftly told novel based on real science, with outcomes both alarming and uplifting'
