GCHQ agent Winter has just 14 days to bring down the website of a formidable criminal organisation before a teenager is tortured to death in front of an online audience of millions. Going deep under cover disguised as the paid assassin Snow White, Winter must infiltrate the inner circle of the extraordinarily powerful man at the heart of the dark web. This is a gripping, fast-paced ride through a disturbingly plausible technological future in which Callister’s protagonist must battle to bring down the terrifying crimes tearing through society. About Winter Master hacker, highly intelligent, combat trained: Winter is a very modern spy.

Undeniably sexy and exceptionally accomplished, Winter is a true 21st-century heroine. About the Author Alex Callister is the pseudonym of an industry expert on media, telecoms and internet stocks.
