Description: In a high-tech future America where computers do the thinking, one cop has the courage to search for justice -- in this terrifying thriller

Bitter over a prolonged divorce, longtime cop Phil Gagliardi welcomes any distraction, even an investigation into the death of a beautiful computer executive. The police computers finger a punk she met over the cybersex lines, and the case is closed.

Except that it doesn't ring true. Gagliardi knows he should ignore his instincts. Computers have eliminated the need for those, and people who think for themselves are regarded with suspicion. But when he finds evidence that someone has tampered with official records, he must use all the cunning he possesses to outwit the murderers -- human or cyber.

Everyone is a suspect, from the childlike genius who presides over the most high-tech computer firm in the nation to the beautiful executive he meets in a late-night chat room. There's the brilliant leader of the anti-technology movement and a sullen ex-executive with a chip on his shoulder.

Despite the evidence saying he's crazy, the body count keeps rising. But computers don't lie -- or do they?
