Data Never Dies. But People Do.Alex Vane was once a top investigative journalist. Now he peddles celebrity gossip and clickbait listicles, watching from a distance as his wife moves on with her life – without him. Alex’s past catches up with him when he learns that an old source, James Stacy, has been killed in a random mass shooting.But James left Alex one last scoop: a 50-year-old hard drive … 50-year-old hard drive that may contain a secret worth killing for…and the name of the one person who can help him access the data. That person is Quinn Rivers, a paranoid and reclusive computer expert who believes the CIA is tracking her every move. And she may be right.
When Alex shows up at her door with the hard drive, armed operatives are right behind him. Now Alex and Quinn are on the run. There is no one to trust, nowhere to hide, and nothing but the hard drive to prove that James Stacy’s death wasn’t random at all.

Outstanding conspiracy theory book. Unexpected twists and turns.
I love A. J. Fullers books about Alex Vane the journalist. He’s a very likable character and I’ve enjoyed them all.
To many long technical passages. I did not finish it.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Great plane ride book.
I love a good conspiracy theory. This book had me hooked. I read it in 2 sittings. I couldn’t put it down. It had me looking up Project Mockingbird.
good plot and technical details
Good book…held my interest
Alex Vane, whose friend James was killed, goes crazy trying to fine out who did it. Very interesting story and ending!
Five people are dead at a small Las Vegas newspaper… From page one there is intrigue, drama, and heart-stopping action. Fuller does an incredible job with the well-developed characters and current-day storyline. The Mockingbird Drive” has everything a good thriller needs: the right pacing, an excellent plot and it’s well written. This is the third book in the Alex Vane Media Thriller Series but can be purchased as a stand-alone book. But do yourself a favor and get his other books and read them in order. You will not be disappointed.
This book was just OK. The author wrote in a very dry, matter-of-fact style with little emotion, which didn’t draw me in. It read like a whodunit.
What a fantastic book. This was my first experience with Mr. Fuller’s work & what a surprise it turned out to be. Set in the world of the media & the internet, it’s based in historical reality & is frightening because of it. The characters are believable, engaging & flawed. With 20 minutes remaining in the book the author managed to choke me up & it’s a rare thing to pull me that deeply into a story. I highly recommend you give it a read.
It’s hard to explain this book without giving everything away. Alex Vane is the owner and CEO of The Barker, an online news outlet that runs any story that will make them money. (For example, his wife leaves him after he runs photos of a young singer out clubbing in a short skirt with no panties as she’s getting out of a car.)
AT one point in his career, he’d been partners with a techo-nerd, James. James’ girlfriend and partner contacts Alex and asks him to meet James in Las Vegas about an important story. Unfortunately, James is killed before ALxe can meet with him. James’ girlfriend, Innevra, shows up at Alex’s hotel and give him an almost-50-year-old hard drive, saying that whatever’s on it is why James was killed. She plans to disappear and suggests that Alex take the hard drive to a woman just outside of Vegas, Quinn Rivers.
Quinn is a bit crazy and very paranoid. She convinces Alex to flee with her, as she’s sure the CIA is after them both. This is where the story gets complicated. Suffice it to say, there’s a lot of government conspiracy theories, lots of running, lots of uncovering inconvenient truths. It was hard to stick with at times, but the way the author ties everything together at the end was worth it.
This was an okay book, but just not my style. It seemed to go on and on with an overabundance of information. There was some offensive language, but not a lot.
This is my second book by the author and I enjoyed both of them. Not your traditional thriller story, Alex Vane is a seedy tabloid journalist in the digital world and gets mixed up trying to remember his roots. Compelling story.
I tried to read this two different times but just not the genre I enjoy.
Not an enjoyable read, and when it did FINALLY end, it was a huge disappointed. The author is too descriptive, and it drags on for pages.
Very good. Should be on the best seller list.
Poorly written. I didn’t even finish it.
Conspiracy theorists and some interesting storyline
Very slow read.. I use it to fall asleep.. sorry
