Gordon Cope's profile page

Secret Combinations is a strong debut mystery . . . The dialogue moves the action forward while revealing the network of emotions deftly unveiled by the author. The action is short and sharp and leads to a climax worth reading twice. —The Hamilton Spectator

Calgary writer Gordon Cope's debut novel, Secret Combinations, is focused on the 'ripped-from-the-headlines' threat of cyber warfare and, more specifically, the sort of constructed viruses that can worm their way into the western world's computers and devastate civilization. . . . While Agent Jack Kenyon's first adventure will have him coming face to face with some family secrets linked to the sudden death of his aunt, he is a lot less dark and troubled than most heroes that front a continuing mystery series. —Calgary Herald
