Editorial Reviews

First novel in which a female FBI agent tracks down an Internet-based confederation of serial killers. (Dec.)

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

FBI special agent Jay Fletcher has made a serious mistake: in tracking down a serial killer, she has violated federal law by trolling in various databases via the Internet without a warrant. The charges are dropped against the killer, and Fletcher finds herself assigned to assist a local arson investigator in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This slows her down only briefly, as she soon finds herself using the same electronic investigative tactics to identify a killer in Albuquerque. This time, rather than going through the formalities of a trial, she simply executes the killer herself. And thus a new angel of vigilantism is born. Tapping a previously suppressed reservoir of hate and revenge, she applies her computer skills to hack a vicious online role-playing game that masks an electronic bulletin board for serial killers, several of whom she eliminates. Holt has written a suspenseful, violent novel about this rogue cop who metes out her own brand of justice and the other cops who let her get away with it. It's almost fun, if you don't think too closely about what you're enjoying.
