Berlin, 1990. The Wall is down. The real war is just starting.
Berlin, April 1990. The Wall is half rubble, half souvenir, and the cleverest men in Europe have stopped fighting over borders. They are buying software companies instead.
Gabriel Mitchell has spent a decade learning that a sales contract and an intelligence file look identical from the right angle. He runs Pacific Technology Consulting, a firm that helps Asian and European businesses wire themselves into the new connected world. The cover is real. The work beneath it is not.
The decade everything joined up
The 1990s were the decade when everything came together. Networks reach across borders, the internet arrives, and money, secrets and power begin moving down the same cables. Gabriel understands the opportunity better than most people alive. So does someone else.
A name with no face, no file, and no service willing to claim it
A single name keeps surfacing in the wreckage of old operations. Viktor. He does not steal technology. He owns the companies that build it, quietly, one failing firm at a time, until a dozen legitimate businesses answer to a single hand. Marcus Reinhardt was the man everyone could see. Viktor is the reason Reinhardt was never the one who gave the orders.
To catch a network, he builds one
Sophie Lis, a Canberra mathematician who reads a network the way other people read a face, and who can see the shape of a thing designed to have no shape. Jonathan, who trusts paper over people. Dr Cross, who built the whole arrangement and will not admit it out loud. And a back-channel into German intelligence that runs on patience and a man who signs off every message with the same two words.
A debt eight years buried
A colleague was pulled from a river in Berlin. Gabriel has spent eight years certain that he knew who ordered her death. He was wrong about the part that mattered.
The paradox that gives the book its name
The more the world connects, the easier it becomes to hide inside the connection. Gabriel spent the eighties learning to read people. The nineties will ask whether anyone can read a machine built to deceive at the speed of light.
The Network Deception Paradox is the second book in The Digital Shadow Series, the story of how technology and intelligence grew up together across the Asia-Pacific and beyond. It runs from the fall of the Wall to the eve of the millennium, from Frankfurt prosecution rooms to San Francisco conference floors where young men in chinos promise to put every business on the internet and nobody asks how the money actually works.
Written by someone who stood on the line
Gari Johnson spent forty years selling enterprise technology across the Asia-Pacific and knows exactly where the line between commerce and intelligence used to blur, because he spent a career standing on it.
For readers of John le Carré, Mick Herron and Daniel Silva who like their tradecraft wired into something real.

Informazioni sul diritto di recesso
Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.
Il periodo di recesso scade dopo 14 giorni dal giorno in cui tu o una terza parte, diversa dal vettore e da te indicata, acquisisce il possesso fisico dell'ultimo bene o dell'ultimo lotto o pezzo.
Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
Dovrai rispedire i beni o consegnarli a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., senza indebito ritardo e, in ogni caso, entro 14 giorni dal giorno in cui ci hai comunicato la tua volontà di recedere dal presente contratto. Il termine è rispettato se rispedisci i beni prima della scadenza del periodo di 14 giorni. I costi diretti della restituzione dei beni saranno a tuo carico. Sei responsabile solo della diminuzione del valore dei beni risultante da una manipolazione diversa da quella necessaria per stabilire la natura, le caratteristiche e il funzionamento dei beni stessi.
