We propose in this paper a numerical method to solve a linear inverse source problem for general hyperbolic equations. This is the problem of reconstructing sources from the lateral Cauchy data of the wave field on the boundary of a domain. In order to achieve the goal, we derive an equation involving a Volterra integral, whose solution directly provides the desired solution of the inverse source problem. Due to the presence of such a Volterra integral, this equation is not in a standard form of partial differential equations. We employ the quasi-reversibility method to find its regularized solution. Using Carleman estimates, we show that the obtained regularized solution converges to the true solution with the Lipschitz-like convergence rate as the measurement noise tends to 0. This is one of the novelties of this paper since currently, convergence results for the quasi-reversibility method are only known for purely differential equations. Numerical tests demonstrate a good reconstruction accuracy.
