VIRTUAL WITNESS - A Harry Hawkins Thriller

Legendary Detective Harry Hawkins returns in this gripping thriller that pulls him from retirement into a deadly game of artificial intelligence, murder, and international espionage.

When Detective Jeff Beckinsale is executed in his bedroom, H receives a mysterious recording of his friend's final moments - sent by an AI chatbot claiming to have 'witnessed' the murder. Armed only with a cryptic note and his old-school detective instincts, H must navigate a world of advanced technology he barely understands to uncover the truth.

As H digs deeper, he discovers Beckinsale was involved in testing a revolutionary AI system - one that forges towards consciousness itself. With help from his former partner Amisha Bhanushali and Jeff's grieving daughter, H races to unlock the AI's secrets before more people die. But powerful forces are determined to keep those secrets buried, and they view yesterday's detective as a threat to be eliminated.

The Boy from Bermondsey must now adapt to a changed London where artificial intelligence, not human intelligence, holds the key to solving his friend's murder and breaking the conspiracy. Can H's street smarts and relentless pursuit of justice survive in a world where killers hide behind computer code and even an AI can keep deadly secrets?

A pulse-pounding thriller that masterfully blends old-school detective work with cutting-edge technology, Virtual Witness marks the triumphant return of Harry "H" Hawkins - London's most determined detective is back, and he's about to face his most baffling case yet.
