CRACKERJACK (Dark Web 1)

Peter Church

The first installment in Peter Church's Dark Web Trilogy

Young, bright and sexy, Carla Vitale has been handpicked to run Supertech, Africa's leading independent Engineering firm. But one Friday her boss and mentor, Nial Townley, disappears, his luxury vehicle is found in a beachside ravine and $USD 20m is missing from the company's overseas accounts. Three months later and the police are no closer to solving the riddle

Carla turns to the one person she believes can help: software hacker turned day-trader, Daniel Le Fleur. Le Fleur's maintaining a low profile after participating in an illegal hack that angered the wrong people and he's leery of getting involved. But he can't help being drawn in.

Crackerjack is a page-turning, high-stakes techno thriller set in cosmopolitan Cape Town that immerses readers into the high-stakes world of financial crime, corporate fraud, and software hacking?not to mention sex, murder, and revenge. It's a fun, compelling read with a gritty, darker edge.

After a successful career in Information Technology, Peter Church's first crime novel, Dark Video, was published in South Africa and Australia in 2008. He has since published Bitter Pill, a crime thriller, and Blue Cow Sky, “a novella of sexual proportions,” both in South Africa. Church is a member of SA PEN.
