The Mortality Thief - by Mark W Griffin (Paperback)

About the Book

Luke Smith must hide to solve a data mystery, while an assassin, the police and the crowd all hunt him. It's not clear what will break him first: being homeless or being hunted. He must solve the mystery of the data file or die trying.

Book Synopsis

Pencil-pushing risk-analyst Luke Smith finds himself with a bounty on his head, the police, the public and a paid assassin on his tail. A file accidentally sent to him in a high-stakes Initial Public Offering (IPO) transaction is his only clue. Inside lies the secret his client will kill to keep hidden. On the run, he has no choice but to make London's underbelly his refuge. With nothing but the clothes on his back and his own wits, he must solve the file's mystery before he becomes just another mortality statistic. Inspired by true events, The Mortality Thief is a razor-sharp and authentic thriller that's ripped from the headlines.
