This thrilling second instalment in The Hack Trilogy can be read as a stand alone tale, but why not check out the riveting rapid-fire first volume, The Hack, as there are some spoilers?

This series of gritty, fast-paced international crime thrillers features ex-CIA operative 'The Hunter' and the woman he desires, investigative journalist Kate O'Sullivan. Chief Lee, an incorruptible and relentless investigator with the Royal Thai Police, also plays a large part in both of the first two novels.

Trigger warning:

Frankly, if you need a trigger warning then it's probably best to look for a different novel.

"Patching goes where other authors fear to tread."

Contains 'hard-hitting realism' that some readers may find disturbing.

From the back cover of the paperback edtion:

When a young British couple are brutally murdered on a beach on a holiday island in Thailand, Kate O'Sullivan is sent to investigate for The Crusader newspaper. Two Burmese fishermen have been charged with the crime, but the victims' parents believe there has been a cover up, and Kate soon learns that all is not as it seems in paradise.

Hunter, the renegade CIA agent Kate had a brief fling with, is obsessed with her. When he learns she's carrying his child, he follows her to the island, hoping to convince her that his serial killing ways are over and for her to give him a second chance.

But dark forces are at play and evil men who make a fortune from trading in flesh are threatened by Kate's presence on their island. Soon after arriving, her life spins dangerously out of control as she unwittingly invites their attention - and becomes a potential sex slave herself...
