What you need to know before your trail
The modern world can be an easy and exciting place to be – not to mention safer – you can check the oven is turned off when you’re on holiday, you can call someone on the other side of the word. Remote control your car, your life.
But someone can also tap into that technology and control YOUR car, turn on your oven and control YOUR LIFE.

Travel Guide
Brookyln
A shopping mall in Brooklyn as you have never seen it before and will never want to have a shopping trip turn out this way. Probably the most traumatic visit to one you’ll ever know. Into a Starbucks and then hell breaks loose. The Brooklyn Heights promenade – where the suspect man is spotted
Manhattan
The rest of the cat and mouse game this novel takes you on is one of the varied streets of the Brooklyn area of New York and Manhattan. “Sometimes you catch a break” the novel’s opening lines says. Well, you’d better enjoy a moment to breathe before Jeffery Deaver takes you on a whirlwind tour of this part of the city which is described as “ an urban sprawl populated by ten thousand camouflaging souls” the Centre Street police station is at the centre of the investigations.
Technology
Escalators in shopping malls, blunt instruments used for even blunter killings. Items of steel – consumer appliances – used against those who buy them. The shoppers who are controlled by them, the status of having them are now being controlled by their materialism and greed.
You will never look at a remote in the same way again.
