Comment: First hook is a bit more "April Fools'"-y, but still factual (the ambiguous "he" refers to Alan, not Dermot). If it's not funny enough, the alt should work for a non-April 1 hook.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: The section on the book's content is not sourced inline, but that should not be an issue as it is effectively a plot summary. I sort of like ALT0. buidhe 10:16, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
(By the way, the two inline citations at the end of the "Synopsis" section are meant to be the references for the entire section, mainly because I haven't actually read the book in question.) — Bilorv (talk) 10:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote ALT0, but the article doesn't give any date for Alan Turing's death so I can't tell if the hook is accurate. Yoninah (talk) 20:00, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah:: try The British Library for example. Plenty of sources in Alan Turing would do, as would the book Prof: Alan Turing Decoded itself. He died on 7 June 1954 and the book was published on 15 September 2015. Just to double check, this is being added to the April Fools' Day prep area, right? — Bilorv (talk) 20:47, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
@Bilorv: I meant that you should add the date to the article, perhaps with birth and death dates in parentheses after his name. Yes, I'd like to promote it for April Fools Day. Yoninah (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I've added a couple of sentences about Alan Turing under "History", including birth and death years in parentheses. — Bilorv (talk) 22:34, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. Restoring tick per Buidhe's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:36, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
