Summary
Tobias Hawke was the tech genius boss of the British Institute for Deep Learning. Now his body has been found in his lab: he has been brutally murdered.
Hawke was on the brink of an astonishing breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence. His creation, 'Syd', a machine-learning device that mimics human thought, promised to change the face of humanity forever. But, in the wake of her creator's murder, Syd has gone into emergency shutdown procedure. What secrets are her neural networks hiding?
Michael North, ex-assassin and spy-for-hire, is the man to find out. But he can't work alone. Teenage hacker Fangfang and Hawke's widow, a prize-winning ethicist, have their own reasons to solve the murder. But can they uncover the truth before it's too late?

Frederick Forsyth is right, we need more from her.
I have just read Killing State and then listened to Curse of the day and I wish there was another. Perfect pace, plot to keep you intrigued. Also as an avid audiobook person (I drive a lot) some times the narrator can let a book down, this is very well read and like the plot keeps a great story going.

Fang-tasting
Do not let this author slip under your radar. Judith O’Reilly is a most skilled writer and producer of the best adventure / thrillers that you could wish for.
North and Fang are a duo that competes handsomely with the classic partnerships of the classics and modern day crime fiction.
Curse the Day romps along at speed and has you hang on to a gripping state of the art breathtaking beauty of a story.
