---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Young photographer Peter Conway wrestles with his estranged father’s collapse into madness and his fear that he has inherited the same fatal flaw. Then his father’s apparent suicide and an inner compulsion he does not fully understand drive Peter to re-examine the past that destroyed his family.
As he digs deeper and events conspire against him, his father’s obsession about a shadowy organisation that controls how people think becomes all too believable. Unsure who to trust or whether his thoughts are still his own, Peter’s worst nightmare of insanity seems to be coming true.
Finally certain his father was murdered and he is next on the list, Peter finds help from journalist Chloe Pearson and City financier Billy Stanfield. Together they begin to uncover a terrifying alliance of mind-bending science and unscrupulous power brokers masquerading as spin-doctors.
Insanity is no longer the issue – it is now a question of survival for both the hunters and the hunted.
