Synopsis

Information

Vasco Valseca is a scientific genius who has created Navegator, a unique software program that can pinpoint the exact geographical location of any internet activity – email, virus or hacking. Navegator is hot property and only one copy exists. Valseca is unaware that his precious invention is the focus of furious international activity: while a high-powered US project team is working on a similar program in a bid to combat computerbased terrorism, more sinister forces will stop at nothing to acquire such a valuable asset for sale to the highest bidder, whoever that may be. In this fast-moving thriller where the work of a brilliant inventor puts his entire family at risk, the action switches from Washington to Mallorca, St Petersburg and London as a series of ruthless plans, mix-ups and misunderstandings threaten to turn Navegator into cyber-terrorism’s ultimate tool.
