Description
A bomb goes off in down town San Francisco.
Twelve people are dead. But this is no ordinary target. This target
exists on the fault line where sex and money meet.
Daniel
Madsen is one of a new breed of federal agents armed with a badge, a gun
and the Bureau’s latest piece of technology. He’s a fast operator and
his instructions are simple: find the bomber – and before he strikes
again.
In order to understand what is at stake, Madsen must
plunge into a sleazy, unsettling world where reality and fantasy are
indistinguishable, exploitation is business as usual, and the dead hand
of corruption reaches all the way to the top. There’s too much money
involved for this investigation to stay private...

Advance Praise
Skinjob offers a horribly real tale of technopoly’s perils … a tight, entertaining yarn that foreshadows the data and sensor-driven world we will live in come the 2020s. Rating: 8.5/10 - The Australian
If any read is better deserving of the title ‘techno-thriller’, I cannot think of it. If writing was cricket, this novel would be a century on debut! A terrific read - The Courier Mail
A blend of Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton. The storyline is compelling, the race to save the day frantic, the villains properly dark and the heroes tough yet troubled. - Observer
