“An amazing book”
“Nigh on impossible to put down once you’ve picked it up”
“A fantastic new novel”
“Brave, bold and dare I say, even, ominous!”
“Way more visionary than its predecessor, Sockpuppet, yet its thought-provoking prophesy remains both powerful and effective”
Who can you trust if you can’t trust yourself?
Early one morning, blogger Alex Kubelick walks up to a total stranger and slaps him across the face. Hard.
He smiles.
They've both just earned Emoticoin, in a new, all-consuming game that trades real-life emotions for digital currency. Emoticoin is changing the face of the economy - but someone or something is controlling it for their own, dangerous ends.
As Alex picks apart the tangled threads that hold the virtual game together she finds herself on the run from very real enemies. It seems only one person has the answers she seeks. Someone who hides behind the name 'Lucky Ghost.'
But Lucky Ghost will only talk to a young hacker called Thimblerig - the online troll who's been harassing Alex for months.
Will Lucky Ghost lead Alex and Thimblerig to the answers they seek - or to their deaths?
Lucky Ghost is part of The Martingale cycle. It's out from Hodder & Stoughton in paperback, hardback, ebook and audiobook.
