A Monkeewrench Novel
by P. J. Tracy
It begins with a floater.
When Minneapolis homicide cops Gino Rolseth and Leo Magozzi are called to a derelict stretch of the Mississippi River, they see the bride, facedown, dead in the water. And when the Monkeewrench crew - computer geeks who made a fortune on games, now assisting the cops with special anticrime soft-ware - are invited by the FBI to investigate a series of murder videos posted to the Web, it's not long before the group discovers the frightening link between the unlucky bride and the latest, most horrific use of the Internet yet. Using their skills to scour the Net to prevent more killings, the team must race against the clock ... before it's too late.
"Newcomers will have no trouble getting into the story, and everyone will appreciate the likable characters." - Publishers Weekly
"The weakest of the gang's four adventures to date." - Kirkus Reviews
"Humor and humanity mix in this top-notch mystery, the best in the series." - Booklist
"It will appeal mainly to fans of the Monkeewrench series, who have been waiting four years since Snow Blind, and to those who appreciate high-tech hijinks." - Library Journal
