Death is only a phone call away . . .
Imagine you could detonate a bomb anywhere in the world by the simple act of making a telephone call. This is the premise of Henry Porter's ingenious and terrifying debut thriller.
Constantine Lindow, a brilliant young scientist, is waiting for his brother Eamonn outside a central London Tube station when a bus turns into the street - and explodes. The next day Lindow is arrested as the prime suspect and pitched into a web of intrigue. Caught between the British Security Service, New Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist squad and the cold-eyed killers from his brother's past, Lindow must find the bomber to prove his own innocence. But first he has to confront Eamonn's double life and work out the meaning of a scrap of paper hidden in his flat. The trail for the bomber leads Lindow to Boston, to a hideout deep in the Maine wilderness and finally back to London, where he tracks down a killer with a grandiose plan of mass murder - a killer who's a genius with computers and encrypton systems, and more cunning than anyone could ever have imagined.
