Mystery | Thriller

PJ Gray, psychologist and expert in the groundbreaking field of forensic computer simulation, made an impressive debut in Shirley Kennett's acclaimed first novel, Gray Matter. Now, PJ returns to track down a cunning killer who is manipulating the computer system of a busy St. Louis hospital.

Teaming up with veteran homicide cop Leo Schultz, PJ is hunting a diabolical computer hacker who always manages to be one step ahead of them. And as they uncover clues that give them insight into this brilliant -- yet tortured -- predator's mind, PJ begins to comprehend the monstrous plan he has hatched. With time quickly becoming PJ's enemy, she must use her skills to enter his dark psyche.

For the killer has just issued her a horrifying challenge: Guess his next move -- or many more will die.
