Description
A provocative, bullet-ride of a thriller set in the boardrooms, brothels, churches, alleyways, and dark places of the near future.
A bomb goes off in downtown San Francisco. Twelve people are dead. But this is no ordinary target. This target exists on the fault line where sex and money meet.
Daniel Madsen is one of a new breed of federal agents armed with a badge, a gun, and the Bureau's latest piece of technology. He's a fast operator, and his instructions are simple: find the bomber—and before he strikes again.
In order to understand what is at stake, Madsen must plunge into a sleazy, unsettling world where reality and fantasy are indistinguishable, exploitation is business as usual, and the dead hand of corruption reaches all the way to the top. There's too much money involved for this investigation to stay private...
Skinjob offers a gripping narrative, taking readers on a thrilling journey through a morally ambiguous landscape set in a chillingly plausible future.

Along the way he published several hundred magazine, journal and newspaper articles, became a provocative weekly columnist in The Australian and earned a PhD in computer science.
