THIS IS GOMORRAH.
An exclusive online marketplace where anything and everything is for sale. Guns and porn. Identities and elections. Lives and deaths.

THIS IS HELL.
The war on terror is no longer just fought on the ground. In Syria, Islamic Republic recruits are now learning to spread fear online. But they've left a clue to their deadly next move . . .

THIS IS THE MAN WHO CAN STOP THEM.
Lonesome hacker Azi Bello is nobody's idea of a hero. Except his skills have caught the attention of a mysterious espionage unit, who think he might have what it takes to stop this evil force. Sent on a mission which could cost him his life, Azi's ultimate destination is Gomorrah.

But can he make it out alive?

Praise for This is Gomorrah: Shortlisted for the CWA 2020 Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award

  • A techno-thriller with wit and style. It reminded me of Chris Brookmyre, and praise doesn't come higher than that.

  • Gripping, intelligent and stylish.

  • Punchy, powerful and one hell of a wild ride, this is thriller writing at its absolute best

  • A sharp thriller that takes us deep into the digital underworld. Taut and tense . . . a well told, fast-paced story packed with contemporary relevance

  • A tight, fast-moving thriller. Like Three Days of the Condor for the internet age

  • If espionage today is all about hack and counter-hack, which it clearly is, then Tom Chatfield has just written the classic twenty-first century spy thriller. Move over James Bond: Azi Bello has hacked your smartphone and he owns you.

  • Fast and funny, dangerous and blinding-bright . . . an adrenaline-rush of a book for our menacing times

  • a seething knot of spies, hackers, terrorists, tech and humans: absolutely brilliant.
