The Houdini Hijacking

By Brett Orford Walpole

Carl Henderson is an obsessed journalist living in a strained relationship and working on no more than a hunch. He is writing a biography of Raymond Dante, a young politician who died some ten years earlier, and decides to make a personal journey to investigate the strange death of the man he so respected. \ \ \ Dante was a cyber-hero who single-handedly stopped the lethal 'Houdini' computer virus attack on the country's health system. He later became a Member of Parliament and married into Russian money but was believed to have died in a storm at sea off the coast of Scotland. His body was, however, never recovered. Henderson's research for his biography of Dante generates tantalising new clues which lead to a Caribbean island where his subject may still be alive. \ \ \ What Henderson finds causes him to rethink everything he knows about Dante. With the extraordinary truth staring him in the face he must find a way of sharing his new understanding with the world at large, but this is something he must do alone and with great restrictions on his own personal freedoms. \ \ \ When can the truth also be a lie? Is a conspiracy merely a truth we refuse to believe? How can we be free of the digital locks and chains of our minds? Who has all the keys?
