Luke Frankland - a former military intelligence officer, whose closely held personal secrets far outweigh any that he encountered in his career.
When a British bank, investing in emerging markets and hoping to help some of the world's poorest, starts haemorrhaging money, Luke Frankland is called in to find out who is to blame.
He soon finds himself in the middle of a multinational game of treachery, extortion and murder. His home life should be his refuge, but that is about to get equally complicated.
Pick a Packet or Two is the second in the explosive Luke Frankland Trilogy of cyber-thrillers. A series of novels based on the real life experiences of the author within the world of cyber warfare, espionage, big business and tech start-ups. They will take you on a chilling and personal journey that will leave you wondering where the fiction ends and the facts start.
