A Journalist Targeted for Assassination -- A Global Conspiracy of Billionaires Footing the Bill -- But Gar Hart has a Gun, and Won't Go Quietly into the Night... "Gar Hart...twisting the tail of a leviathan as submerged as le Carré's dark webs. Author Mark Furness crackles out fire and ice in a wry voice, piles on inventive and ingenious mysteries, body-slams action, and bleeds characters as damaged and compromised as any Child, Connelly, or Grisham." Tom Flood, winner of the Miles Franklin Award. Ride with a maverick journalist on a spell-binding adventure from the Australian outback to some of the world's most colourful cities as he cracks open a sinister underworld of the ultra-rich... It begins when a Sydney billionaire's son suspiciously goes to prison for stealing money. Hart, and his colleague, Claire Styler, don't buy the PR line about mental illness. They dig deeper, unearthing a dark family secret. Now witnesses are turning up dead around the world. Slipping from Sydney to the UK and China, trying to outplay shadowy pursuers - who are now targeting Hart's children - the reporters realize that exposing a grand conspiracy of business and political titans will take both a pen and a gun...

Mark Furness is an award-nominated writer of thrillers, mysteries and black comedy crime. A former journalist and foreign correspondent who has worked in the USA, UK, Australia and East Asia, he draws on these experiences to inform his crime stories which often feature journalists. He claims his good characters are based on real people - and the black hats are purely fictional. He crashed a hang-glider into high voltage wires when he was twenty-one years of age, sustaining electrical burns which left him hospitalized and in rehabilitation for over a year. While bearing life-long physical scars, he claims his brain fully recovered. This is disputed by some friends and family members. Mark is an Australian who lives in Sydney and is married with two young adult children. The British Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger competition long-listed his international conspiracy thriller, with the working title FBEyes, in which journalists uncover corruption at the high-tech frontier of the global arms industry. FBEyes is a work-in-progress. It is the follow-on novel to Under Eden. Mark's flash fiction has been published by Apocrypha & Abstractions in the US, and he has been a finalist in Australia's Cowley Literary Award. Mark's work is represented by literary agent Clive Newman, principal of the Newman Agency. Learn more at: www.markfurnesswriter.com
