Publisher's Notes
When Sheryl Birch, a computer engineer at SJR Data Systems, accidentally taps into a hidden database and finds skullduggery that she traces back to her own company, she figures the likeliest perps are the blue Blazers, security goons Zach Massendale and Glen Jaffee. And she's right, but not right enough. Research and Development head Howie Borke, who's always been nice to Sheryl, is also in on the nefarious scheme. So is SJR's chief, Dean Utley whom Sheryl had already thought was too rich to bother. But Utley's not just satisfied with being a telecommunications king, he wants to be the power behind the aspiring new President of the U.S., the treacherous V. P. Sheryl barely has time to share her suspicions with her cop sister Suze Figueroa before Sheryl is forced into an "accident", that leaves her in a coma. It's up to Figueroa, white collar crime specialist Det. Jesus Delgado, and the few colleagues they can trust to head off the President's assassination, find the weak link in SJR's defenses, and bring Utley& Co., to justice. (paraphrased)

A Shred of Evidence
by Jill McGown
"McGowns style is uniquely hers, engrossing, poignant, with effectual characterization." --Mystery News When the body of fifteen-year-old Natalie Ouspensky is found strangled near a public park in Stansfield, England, Detective Inspector Judy Hill and Detective Chief Inspector Lloyd have their work cut out for them. For Natalie wasnt quite the innocent her mother believes, and her classmates at Oakland School guard Natalie's secrets--and their own--like life itself. Then a shred of evidence points Hill and Lloyd in the right--and decidedly deadly--direction. . . . "[A ] compelling story . . . The characters are devious, cunning, charming--and truly, truly wicked. This small English town, overrun with malice, is well served by its finely delineated constabulary, with Lloyd and Hill at the top of their form."--Publishers Weekly

D'amato, Barbara,
Forge, 96,. ISBN:0-312-85991-0. SIGNED in person, minor production spine bumps, otherwise a very good book and fine dustjacket in Brodart. The title of this book is slang, a shortened form of killer application, a computer program which replaces an old application with a more powerful or efficient one. Chicago policewoman Suze Figueroa gets into cyberspace when her computer engineer sister has a strange accident that puts her in a coma. Suze wonders if the so-called accident is connected to the hush-hush database her sister found at the giant firm where she was employed. SJR Computer Systems doesn't want the Figueroa sisters or anyone else to ask that question. Suze becomes hunted by online hatchet men and ruthless in-the-flesh killers when she uncovers an insidious and well-developed plan beyond her imagination. She must hurry to stop a computer genius from gaining power over the computer age.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover.
