But when his trusted friend Stezenski recruits an assassin, there are dead bodies everywhere.As Lex and Cat begin to unearth the mystery of the Morpheus network – who is controlling it and why – they soon realise that nothing is quite what it seems. People are not who they appear to be. Trying to stay one step ahead of the FBI, who are also searching for the criminals, is one thing; trying to stay alive is quite another.An exceptionally well-constructed and gripping thriller, The Morpheus Network propels the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the sleazy underworld of cyber criminals, murderers and corrupt politicians.

About the author

A while ago, I was a partner and chief operating officer in a major accounting firm, and latterly held the same role in an international law firm. It took me 36 years and several million air miles to do, arguably, what I should have done several years earlier: give up the day job and focus on a lifelong ambition to write thrillers. Page-turners. Action and adventure stories with twists and turns right to the very last page.

With few parts of the world that I have not seen first-hand, I try to use personal knowledge, connections and a professional interest in technology to craft fast-paced thrillers that are very much set in the real world. Locations that I know personally. Present-day plotlines that try to be as credible and true to life as possible. Fictional backstories to events currently in the public eye.

My wife and I live close to the city of Cambridge, England. Together we support several local charities, including the world-renowned Cambridge Union debating society where I am a trustee.

The Morpheus Network by Kit Cornish is a cyber-crime mystery page-turner. I am thoroughly enjoying it.

[Neil Beverley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read. A combination of corrupt policticians, hy-tech / cyber private investigators and hired assassins this is a fast paced thriller with a nice twist at the end.
