Florian, aka Flow, is the most popular boy at his high school. He’s popular with students and teachers alike. The reason for this success? No one can really say, not even his best friend Pedro or his girlfriend Méline. All that is known is that Florian Murail is a computer whiz who spends a lot of money without counting the cost. The teenager is careful not to reveal his secret, because hidden from view, in front of his computer screen, he becomes Lightman, a hacker who steals credit cards for a network on the dark web. But what Flow doesn’t know is that the authorities have had their suspicions about him for some time…
The tension in Sophie Adriansen’s engagingly written novel Hacker is accentuated by a narrative construction reminiscent of a film script.
