A thrilling mix of Homeland and Inception, The Grid takes us to the edge of a new kind of battlefield - the human brain.

'A highly original, electrifying read' The Times
'A stylish, riveting thriller' Daily Mail
'An assured page-turner ... it combines action and foreign locations with big ideas a la Dan Brown' Sunday Times

The US President Thompson has been dreaming of his own death. A repeating nightmare that hounds him night after night that he can't ignore: something tells him it's not just a dream, it feels too real.

Thompson's doctor, military psychiatrist Josh Cain, is summoned to a church tower near the White House. He thinks he is there to talk down another suicidal ex-Marine. But the man he finds tells him of a plot to kill Thompson, revealing secrets he can't possibly have known - just seconds before a sniper's bullet takes him out . . .

Battles have been fought man to man, then machine to machine, and even in cyberspace. But now there is a different battlefield emerging: human consciousness and the fight for our minds.

What readers are saying:

'A classy, intelligent and reflective investigative thriller.'
'A layered plot, engaging characters and a spine chilling ring of truth to the plot, which lured me in and kept me trapped until the final page.'
'A real page turner with plenty of surprises and twists. Great read.'
'THE BEST BOOK THAT I'VE READ ALL YEAR!'

Praise for The Grid

This stylish, riveting thriller explodes into a world of 'psychic spies' and dark plots to undermine the world

Daily Mail

An assured page-turner ... it combines action and foreign locations with big ideas a la Dan Brown

Sunday Times

This is a highly original, electrifying read ... In less assured hands this could have seemed absurd, but Cook’s crisp, hard-boiled prose makes the outlandish feel alarmingly plausible.

The Times

Frightening in its subject matter and brilliantly written. It’s a book you will not want to put down

Crime Review

A vividly drawn, propulsive thriller, that also probes the effects of grief and trauma

The Times, Books of the Year

The Grid takes the thriller to another, deeper level. It’ll grip you and have you thinking hard in equal measure … an absorbing gripper that will have you googling for clues that it might come true
