I am a huge reader. Romance, murder mystery, detective stories, etc. I love it.

Anyway, I just finished reading "The Blue Nowhere" by Jeffrey Deaver (who wrote "The Bone Collector"). It is an AWESOME book. Here's what the back says:

"His code name is Phate - a sadistic computer hacker who infiltrates people's computer, invades their lives, and with chilling precision lures them to their deaths. Desperate to stop him, the California State Police Computer Crimes Unit frees former hacker Wyatt Gillette to aid the investigation. As the obsessive Gillette fervently attempts to trace the hacker's insidious computer virus back to its source, Phate delivers a huge blow - murdering one of the division's own. Now, teamed with old-school homicide detective Frank Bishop, Gillette must combine their disparate talents to catch a brilliant and merciless killer."

Oh my gosh, you hang on EVERY PAGE TURN! It was one that I seriously had trouble putting down. Everyone on here obviously loves computers... If you like hacking (or know anything about it), this will be especially interesting. It truly was excellent.

It's $7.99 @ Amazon. Here's a link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671042262/girllsgotdeal-20) .

Enjoy! :D

Gotta love that good-book buzz! :thumb:

Anyone else think that the person who wrote the synopsis should be drawn and quartered? "Phate [Fate] delivers a huge blow?" "sadistic computer hacker?" :rolleyes:

PLEASE don't let this person write my eulogy.

Hey juju, Phate is the hacker spelling of Fate. ;) I found that out in the book. And the guy truly is a sadistic computer hacker. lol
