About this title

Synopsis:

Michael Tanner is heading home from a business trip when he accidentally picks up the wrong laptop from security. What he doesn't know is that the owner is US senator Susan Robbins, and her laptop contains top secret files that should never be on there in the first place.

And Senator Robbins is not the only one who wants the laptop back... Suddenly, Tanner is a hunted man. On the run, terrified for the safety of his family, he is in desperate need of a plan - but who can he trust?

Review:

'Seemingly ripped from recent headlines, Finder's latest is one of his most fiendishly plotted and eerily relevant thrillers ... A master of what might be called the "man in over his head" thriller, Finder delivers a tense, uncannily relevant tale about government secrets falling into the wrong hands' Kirkus.

'Finder takes a random mixup that could happen to any of us and spins it into a nail-biting nightmare' Linwood Barclay.

'Fast-moving action, and a clever political background, some of it not entirely unfamiliar these days' The Times.

'An enjoyable cat-and-mouse chase, with dark shadows of Snowden and Wikileaks' The Times, Summer Reads 2017.

'An adrenaline-filled cat-and-mouse story that has some of the most amazing chase scenes I've ever read' K.J. Howe, Metro.

'The plotting is first class, the characterisation is sublime and the way Finder injects pace into a story about nothing more than an absent-minded mistake is a masterclass' Crime Squad.

'Hitchcock would have admired Joseph Finder's The Switch' Guardian.
