Book Overview

After a catastrophic motorcycle accident, Jacob Underwood woke up believing he was already dead. This unusual condition has a name--Cotard's syndrome--and a surprising benefit: Feeling dead makes Jacob frighteningly good at his job. A contract employee of the multinational corporation DBG, he can now carry out his assignments with ruthless precision, untroubled by guilt, fear, dishonor or any moral conflict--the perfect skills for a hired assassin. When a bright young DBG associate vanishes without a trace, likely taking vast sums of money and valuable company information with her, Jacob will pursue her into a labyrinthine network of dark dealings which extend around the globe, and far beyond his understanding.

In Spark, master storyteller John Twelve Hawks spins a riveting tale and delves into what it means to be human inside the modern surveillance state.

About John Twelve Hawks

JOHN TWELVE HAWKS is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Traveler, the first book in a trilogy that includes The Dark River and The Golden City. The Fourth Realm Trilogy has been translated into 25 languages. Known as "JTH" by his readers, Hawks followed the trilogy with Spark, a stand-alone novel, and a nonfiction book, Against Authority: Freedom and the Rise of the Surveillance States. His readers have translated this e-book into multiple languages. For more than 20 years, JTH has lived a deliberately "anonymous life" to show his resistance to the continual government and corporate attack on privacy. He has discussed his life choices in a published essay, Writing as the Sky Rains Death. In addition, Hawks and the British DJ, John Digweed, created The Traveler Album, a musical collaboration that combined spoken passages of the novel with progressive house music. JTH worked as a war correspondent and turned to fiction to understand a fractured reality. Like several of his characters, he has lived in London, New York City, Paris and Berlin.
