Who says underdogs don't bite? Twelve-year-old Jack Horwood has run from the pimp his mother sold him to, preferring to take his chances on the streets. A house with a cheerful red door - and a classic convertible out front - prompts him into a spot of breaking and entering, and soon he has a warm, dry basement to squat in. Until the owner of the house, Jamaican hacker Rio Palmer, discovers his hideout. Rio offers him a safe place to stay, but Jack doesn't believe a word the man says and runs. Rio can't forget the youngster who is scared and vulnerable, and stronger than many men Rio has met. Finding Jack is a tiny challenge. Teaching him to trust is like climbing a mountain. But when faced with a true zero and its power, Rio can do nothing else. Check out this poignant coming of age story of courage and hope with a touch of revenge. The Power of Zero is the first book in the Zero Rising trilogy, which traces Jack's journey from a frightened, stubborn, homeless boy to a fiercely independent vigilante hacker.

Autorenporträt
Jackie Keswick was born behind the Iron Curtain with itchy feet, a bent for rocks and a recurring dream of stepping off a bus in the middle of nowhere to go home. She's worked in a hospital and as the only girl with 52 men on an oil rig, spent a winter in Moscow and a summer in Iceland and finally settled in the country of her dreams with her dream team: a husband, a cat, a tandem, and a laptop. Jackie writes a mix of suspense, action adventure, fantasy and history, loves stories with layers, plots with twists and characters with hidden depths. She adores friends to lovers stories, and tales of unexpected reunions, second chances, and men who write their own rules. She blogs about English history and food, has a thing for green eyes, and is a great believer in making up soundtracks for everything, including her characters and the cat. And she still hasn't found the place where the bus stops. For questions and comments, not restricted to green eyes, bus stops or recipes for traditional English food, you can find Jackie Keswick in all the usual places: Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/JackiesKitchen Website: http://www.jackiekeswick.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackieKeswick FB Author Page: https://www.facebook.com/JackieKeswick Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiekeswick/ For news, cover reveals and free reads, you can also subscribe to Jackie's newsletter: https://readerlinks.com/l/1385883/0
