Stealing John Hancock

by H & A Christensen

Overview

John "JP" Hancock’s day just got a whole lot worse. After a nasty breakup and being scammed into an acting job that doesn’t exist, JP suddenly finds himself the unwitting victim of an identity theft that has police detective Nya Grey hot on his heels for multimillion-dollar real estate fraud he didn’t commit.

With the police closing in, JP finds an unlikely ally in the Vindicator, a secretive and brilliant hacker who agrees to help clear his name by whatever means necessary. But there’s more to the story than meets the eye, and they soon find themselves at the centre of a high-stakes international pursuit with a master con artist. Failure to outwit him could land them in prison or far worse, but if they succeed, the payoff includes the ultimate revenge.

About the Author

H&A Christensen are a mother-daughter writing duo. They discovered the joy of working together when they were in-house writers for a film production company. The upcoming novel, Stealing John Hancock, is their first book.

Alie aspired to write novels since she was a child but took some curious turns getting there. She started writing a book by kerosene lamp while living in a log cabin in the wilderness, but abandoned living plant-to-mouth, opting for urban comfort and a career as a corporate, periodical and speech writer, including writing supplements for The Globe and Mail.

She raised four children, Tove, Hejsa, Hayden and Kaylen, and has three grandchildren. She lives with her husband, David, in both Thornhill and Uxbridge, Ontario.

Hejsa’s pursuit of extreme sports oddly brought her love of writing into focus. Her first published article was on the Eco-Challenge race she did in Fiji with her brothers. She has since published articles about trekking the Amazon, crossing the Atlantic on a yacht (once in a hurricane), competing around the world in taekwondo, and other adventures. She is much safer focusing on writing novels with her mother. She holds an MA in environmental geography and an MFA in creative writing from UBC, where she won the Random House/Hazlitt Award. In 2017, she was shortlisted for the EVENT Magazine Non-Fiction Contest.

She lives in Port Perry, Ontario with her husband, Giles, daughter, Taia, their dog, and various chickens and ducks.

Alie and Hejsa Christensen are a mother-daughter writing duo based in Ontario, Canada. They discovered their affinity for working together when they were in-house writers for a film production company. They have now made the leap from silver screen to printed page. Stealing John Hancock is their first novel.

Editorial Reviews

Stealing John Hancock bursts from the first page like a horse at the gate and never stops running. It's a wild ride. With murderers willing to do anything to get what they want from JP, and federal agents only a step behind, you simply can't put this book down. H&A Christensen have crafted an unforgettable story of stolen identities, where you can trust no one. Complications unfold so rapidly and are put to rest so smoothly that you won't ever want this book to end. I'm just hoping there will be a sequel.

-Michelle Berry, author of the thriller Everything Turns Away
