Overview

"I know who you are."

"No you don't."

"I'm coming after you."

"No you won't."

"Watch me."

Special FBI agent Jay Fletcher knows how to catch serial killers. She's developed a computer program that identifies the most vicious murderers in America.

But Jay's Washington bosses have told her to stop. She can't use her program. It violates the Constitution. It violates these sick killers' civil rights.

Now Jay's been transferred to a tiny office in Sante Fe. She's instructed to stay out of multiple murder cases. As far as Washington knows, she is.

Like hell she is.

Jay is going on-line.

She's going to track down the killers.

What will she do when she finds them?

She says...watch me.

An agency hacker, Jay can use computers to find out anything about anybody. She uses her computer tracking system in an ongoing investigation of a serial killer, and this time she meets the killer in person, not just online. When she discovers that the murderer is hooked into a secret network of people playing a gruesome game, she makes her move.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

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

George Needham

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.
