THE STRANGE CASE OF DR JACK
Charismatic killer Jack Hyde wants to be in Downing Street. Retired Chief of MI6 Kirstin Lockhart has a very personal score to settle with him. Only one of them can win.
Billionaire Jack Hyde’s existence is almost perfect. After closing the deal of his life by framing a rival for a murder that Jack himself committed, he can focus on his real passion – politics. He will be elected to a safe Parliamentary seat on Thursday. His ambitions then are … limitless. Kirsten Lockhart has been investigating the death of her father 20 years ago since retiring as Chief of MI6. She thinks that Jack was responsible. Truth is, he was.
Can one good woman stop a man who would destroy everything her country stands for?
