Description
FIRST YOU SEE THEM. THEN YOU DISAPPEAR.
It started with the numbers. Spray-painted in red on street signs, outside homes and train stations.
Then came the messages. At random, thousands upon thousands of complete strangers received a text on their phones: 10 15 is coming. It wasn't a clue - it was a warning.
Last night, the first twelve were taken from their homes. No ransom, no note, just the numbers scrawled on their bedroom walls.
Discovering who - or what - is behind the kidnappings, and what the numbers could mean, quickly becomes paramount, as the entire country waits on high alert for news of their fate. Anyone could be responsible, and anyone could be next.
One thing is clear - this is only the beginning.

Person
David Parry is both Australian and British and currently lives in London, though has lived in France, Belgium, Japan, South Korea and Italy. He has a strong interest in current affairs and geo-politics which inspires his themes and concepts. Unlike Jarett, David is not an FBI agent - he is a web developer - but he interviewed a number of agents for this project, and spent time with a real team at the New York Field Office. He describes himself as a lifelong learner who enjoys researching and exploring new worlds - and he would love to set thrillers in all of these worlds.
