by Denise Danks (Author)
On the first day of December, a parcel bomb explodes in London's East End killing 'Gecko' Samuels, notorious womaniser and chief executive of the world's top games software company, and a young technology journalist, who turns out to be six weeks pregnant. For investigative journalist, Georgina Powers, holed up in her basement after a hit and run accident, it's a story she's got to do for the money. But she has other things on her mind. Things that keep her from going outside. Like the faceless driver of the car that knocked her down. A list of thirteen women. A government computer contract. And an unsigned postcard of 'London By Night' on which someone has written three words. Be seeing you.
