Hidden Assets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500216122)

No one is quite who they seem in Alan John Watson's suspenseful debut thriller, Hidden Assets.

When Jack Rafter and his neighbours notice strangers wandering the grounds of their private chateau near the French Alps, they become suspicious.

But suspicion turns to full-blown panic when they realize their private information-including their bank accounts, property holdings, and investments-has been hacked.

Under attack for assets they hid offshore, Jack and his neighbours decide to call in Boris Von Phren, a geek who promises to uncover who is behind this sudden investigation.

What he uncovers is a tenuous connection between one of their own neighbours and a Swiss billionaire named Harvey Lasalle, who will stop at nothing to ensure the ruin of the chateau's residents. But why?

A trip to the European Space Agency takes place, where the residents purchase satellite imagery. They have to learn just why their residence is so important to a billionaire.

But what do Jack and his neighbours at the chateau have to do with Lasalle's failing business?

The group plunges into a desperate search for answers-a search that results in murder, suicide...and sweet revenge. A shocking conclusion that will leave readers breathless.
