American Predators: Some crimes trump due process
In 2017 the Figaroa family of Mexico City was on the run from the Cartel. They crossed the border into Texas optimisticly seeking asylum. Instead their four year old twins were taken from them and they were deported.
Four years later, it's President Donald Stump’s second term in the Oval Office, which he now openly shares with President Vladimir Rupin of Russia. The KGB has replaced the defunded FBI, and Congress is in the process of re-writing the Constitution in favour of white supremacy and no presidential term limits.
Meanwhile, Jackal, the world's biggest computer company, releases its latest artificially intelligent operating system, Icarus. It uncovers a vast deep web conspiracy that has ensnared the Figaroa children, among others.
Implicated is Boaty Godslawe, Hollywood’s most powerful producer by day, and worst predator by night. Due to his connections to the White House and his vast collection of kompromat on important people, Godslawe is impervious to legal repercussions, no matter how much evidence piles up against him.
Jackal hires Matthew Angelino, formerly of the CIA, to deal with Godslawe and his criminal cabal. With Matthew's experience in torture interrogations and picking targets for predator drones, his moral compass is sufficiently askew to hunt down the monster of the deep net.
When President Donald Stump steps in with his Twitter account and private security force, the situation goes from ugly to catastrophic.

Not afraid to tackle difficult subjects.
This book tackles a lot of relevant issues the world is facing today. The idea that someone of enormous means can do what they please and that the only way to stop them might be to use 'non-traditional' tactics. The comments on current politics were spot on.
There are a lot of difficult themes within the pages which makes the story all more poignant as we move into unknown territory in our social and political climate.
A fast paced thriller and worth a read!
