Death hides in the detail. He hides in plain sight.

Pencil-pushing risk-analyst Luke Smith finds himself with a bounty on his head, the police, the public and a paid assassin on his tail. A file accidentally sent to him in a high-stakes Initial Public Offering (IPO) transaction is his only clue. Inside lies the secret his client will kill to keep hidden.

On the run, he has no choice but to make London's underbelly his refuge. With nothing but the clothes on his back, and convinced there is something like Enron or the Post Office Scandal lurking in the file, he must solve the mystery before he becomes just another mortality statistic.

Inspired by financial scandals that bankrupted and ruined innocent people, The Mortality Thief is a razor-sharp and authentic thriller.
