Ray Scott’s Latest Novel Explores a Chilling Terror Threat Hidden Inside a Used Computer

In his latest thriller—Dangerous Trade-In, Ray Scott spins a chilling tale where an everyday business transaction goes horribly wrong and places those involved in great danger.

Melbourne, VIC, Australia | July 10, 2025 — Ray Scott, the veteran thriller writer behind The Wimmera Shoot and Cut to the Chase, is back with his most gripping story yet. In this tense new release, “Dangerous Trade-In”, an ordinary computer transaction exposes a terrifying terror plot, setting off a chain of events that plunges readers deep into the underworld of espionage, deception, and survival. Set in modern-day Australia, this novel promises to keep readers turning pages until the very end.

It’s discovered that a terror plot is about to unfold, but nobody knows by whom, where or when, except that the event is to take place during a particular month. The action takes place in Australian Eastern States, mainly in Canberra and Melbourne. With time running out and minimal leads, the authorities must race against the clock to prevent a devastating attack on Melbourne.
