7 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
Internationally bestselling author Christopher Brookmyre, winner of the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Novel of the Year and finalist for the CWA Goldsboro Gold Dagger for his most recent novel, Black Widow, is renowned for his black humor, remarkably well-drawn characters, and killer twists. His new Jack Parlabane thriller, The Hack, is his most unstoppable novel yet. Sam Morpeth has had to grow up way too fast, left to fend for a younger sister with learning difficulties when their mother goes to prison and watching her dreams of university evaporate. But Sam learns what it is to be truly powerless when a stranger begins to blackmail her online, drawing her into a trap she may not escape alive. Meanwhile, reporter Jack Parlabane has finally got his career back on track, working for a flashy online news start-up, but his success has left him indebted to a volatile source on the wrong side of the law. Now that debt is being called in, and it could cost him everything. Thrown together by a common enemy, Sam and Jack are about to discover they have more in common than they realizeand might be each others only hope.

Meanwhile, reporter Jack's back on his career path when a debt's called in which could cost him everything. Sam & Jack have a common enemy. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

"... to everyone else he just looks like a fanny who won't play the game." ?
Christopher Brookmyre has such a delightfully Scottish way with words...

#netgalley. The latest in the Jack Parlabane series. An edgy young, female hacker with a difficult upbringing and a journalist who is trying to make up for past mistakes. Sounds familiar? Less bloody than "The Girl..." books, but Brookmyre does a great job of creating tension with cyber crimes, which -let's face it- is a difficult task. Also, bonus points for a central character who is POC. Couldn't put it down. Hope Brookmyre keeps 'em coming!!

rabbitprincess I loved Brookmyre's Jasmine Sharp trilogy. Have to get cracking on the Parlabanes! 8y
