The Mind Hack

The Mind Hack by Stewart McDowall will be published on 6^th February 2024, and is the second case for his forensic psychologist turned private investigator, McQueen.

To control. To exploit. To kill.

Forensic psychologist turned private detective, McQueen, is drawn into the dark world of psychological manipulation and its deadly consequences.

When he appears on a podcast to discuss the evils of grooming, he attracts the attention of Ian, an internet predator who now sees McQueen as a threat.

A threat that has to be eliminated.

With his expertise as a writer for national magazines, TV and radio being used to full and suspenseful effect from the get-go, Stewart McDowall’s writing also benefits from the many lessons learnt as a stand-up comic. With a strong opening, pace of delivery, and staying in full control of where the story is heading, McDowall’s writing has energy in the delivery.

Whilst a sleuth benefitting from an academic background isn’t a new concept, McQueen’s affability, flaws and nose for sniffing out a killer makes him a detective on par with John Rebus, Harry Hole and Alan Banks. And one that readers will want to hear more from.
