As if a recent break-up, scrounging for rent money, and
lusting after designer shoes weren't enough to make
graduate student Melanie Prescott's life challenging,
suddenly she's practically living The DaVinci Code.
A mysterious stranger is sending obscure codes and clues
her way and she soon discovers she has to solve them in
order to stay alive. With stakes like that, her
dissertation on "the derivation and primary characteristics
of codes and ciphers used by prevailing nations during
wartime" is looking a little less important than it was
yesterday. Right now she's just worrying about living to
see tomorrow.
The only bright spot in the whole freakish nightmare is
Matthew Stryker, the six-foot tall dark and handsome
stranger who's determined to protect her. Well, that and
the millions of dollars that will be her reward if she
survives this deadly game. And she'd better survive.
Because that's a heck of a lot of money to be able to spend
on shoes and handbags and sunglasses and dresses, and,
well, it's hard to be fashionable when you're dead.
