It’s now one o’clock in the morning here in the UK and I would just like to say that I’ve finally finished reading The Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver and I would just like to say thank you to Lianne (elnube) for recommending it to me and that I too would like to recommend it as it truly was a great book too read and that I will probably read it again at some day.

Here’s a bit about the book from Jeffery Deaver’s Site:

The Blue Nowhere (2001)

When a sadistic hacker, code-named Phate, sets his sights on Silicon Valley, his victims never know what hit them. He infiltrates their computers, invades their lives, and lures them to their deaths. To Phate, each murder is like a big, challenging computer hack: every time he succeeds, he must challenge himself anewby taking his methodology to a higher level, and aiming at 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. 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.

Gillette and Detective Frank Bishop an old-school homicide cop who’s accustomed to forensic sleuthing make an uneasy team. But with a merciless and brilliant killer like Phate in their cross hairs, and his twisted game reaching a fever pitch, they must utilize every ounce of their disparate talents to stop him.

“Bestselling author Jeffery Deaver ratchets up the suspense one line of code at a time; his terrific pacing drives the narrative to a thrilling and explosive conclusion.” Amazon.com
