Then Phate delivers a huge blow, murdering one of the division's own - a "wizard" who had pioneered the internet - and the search takes on a zealous intensity. With an obsession emblematic of hackers, Gillette fervently attempts to trace Phate's insidious computer virus back to its source. To Phate, each murder is like a big, challenging computer hack: every time he succeeds, he must challenge himself anew - by taking his methodology to a higher level, and aiming at bigger targets.ĭesperate, the head of The California State Police Computer Crimes Division frees Wyatt Gillette, imprisoned for hacking, to aid the investigation - against the loud protests of the rest of the division. He infiltrates their computers, invades their lives, and lures them to their deaths. When a sadistic hacker, code-named Phate, sets his sights on Silicon Valley, his victims never know what hit them. Jeffery Deaver, best-selling author of The Empty Chair and The Bone Collector, now turns to the labyrinthine world of cyberspace - a world where the most powerful can lose their wealth, their minds, their lives with a hacker's touch of a button.
