Helen Hansonová píše napínavé thrillery o zoufalých lidech, jejichž osudy se proplétají s vyspělými technologiemi. Její postavy, ať už jde o hackery, agenty CIA, průmyslové titány nebo mafiány, se ocitají v osobních bouřích, kde proti nim stojí nemilosrdné síly. Přesto se na své cestě snaží nalézt pravdu, trochu humoru a svou lidskost, často až na hraně života a smrti. Hansonová se ve své tvorbě zaměřuje na mocichtivé, ale sama projevuje hlubokou nedůvěru k těm, kdo touží ovládnout svět.
