Travel Guide
London and essentially the world for the You Tube generation
Alex Caan is well qualified to write this book since he has spent over a decade working in Information Systems Security for a number of government organisations. Currently specialising in Terrorism Studies, he’s got a lot of that background and insider knowledge woven deep into a crime thriller with kick. although this novel is set in London and centres around the Met Police’s operation via cybercrime, the real setting for this is really every person’s living room or bedroom for this is where many people have and use their laptops.
The internet world is a crazy place to be and this novel takes you behind the all singing all dancing bright lights of You Tube into the dark recesses of the human mind and the dark and dingy corridors of London’s police and terrorist squads trying to track the perpetrators down. Many of London’s landmarks are well featured but it’s what goes on behind the scenes of the big doors of the police and security services that really gets your mind whirring.
Read this whilst walking around London, taking time to sit in a park and just look at the number of people on their mobile phone. Who exactly is watching who?
