“Leaves the reader breathless and exhausted.” Sylvia Loader, Sisters in Crime You thought you were playing an online game to mastermind the perfect crime ... but it is no game. It is the facade for billionaire Lawrence Hackett's real-life invitation-only competition to see who can perform the perfect heist. Only a select few are invited to play for the bounty at stake. Special agent Mitchell Parker and his Washington D.C. based team span the globe trying to prevent the real-life crimes before they happen! If you love it when a plan comes together, hold on, because nothing is about to go right! Washington, Paris, London ... the clock is on! "Mastermind is a fast paced action packed adventure... If the action on the ground, or under it, is exciting, that taking place in the air leaves the reader breathless and exhausted .... The team members are very much individuals, slick, professional operators certainly, but also human beings with their own frailties. The criminals display great ingenuity, the pace is frantic through out and the final exchange at Canary Wharf in London absolutely breathtaking. Leaves the reader breathless and exhausted." Sylvia Loader, Sisters in Crime "I couldn't put it down. More, more!" Catherine Retter, Chairman, Australian Book Group Can you guess how the crimes are going to be committed before they happen? I love the challenge of writing a good thriller and getting all the factual details correct (weaponry, geography and even London underground timetables!) Mitchell Parker, the lead, is a man with a quick mind and a vulnerable side. He is well supported by a team of agents each with their own strengths and personalities. I hope you enjoy it ... good luck beating the clock!
