The hate came fast. The silence made it deadly.

Across the UK, women's groups are under siege. Coordinated abuse floods their inboxes. Protests are drowned in digital harassment. High-profile influencers push a slick, venomous brand of misogyny - and boys are listening. Girls are dying - by their own hands or at the hands of those they trusted.

From a hospital bed, still recovering from his last mission, MI5 agent Owen Stone begins to see the pattern. This isn't a glitch in the system - it is the system. A network of online provocateurs, content creators, and puppet-masters is spreading hatred with algorithmic precision. And worse, politicians and community leaders are no longer pushing back.

They're starting to echo the same messages.

As the country slides into a culture war it doesn't fully understand, Owen knows he can't stay sidelined. If he doesn't act, more lives will be lost - and the next target might be the very idea of truth itself.

Invite to Hate is a razor-edged political thriller about digital radicalisation, social manipulation, and the slow surrender of power to those who shout the loudest. Perfect for readers who like their spy fiction wired into the present - and pulsing with consequence.
