The blue nowhere / Jeffery Deaver.
When a sadistic hacker, code-name Phate, sets his sights on Silicon Valley, his victims never know what hit them. He infiltrates their computers, invaded their lives, and with chilling precision-lures them to their deaths. 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, with bigger targets. Desperate, 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. With an obsession emblematic of hackers, Gillette fervently attempts to trace Phate's insidious computer virus back to its source. The 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. Gillette and Detective Frank Bishop, an old-school homicide cop who's accustomed to forensic sleuthing, at first makes an uneasy team. But with a merciless and brilliant killer like Phate in their crosshairs, and his twisted game reaching a fever pitch, they must utilize every once of their disparate talents to stop him. --[Book Jacket].
