Genius programmer Angela Hoot has always been at the top of her class,
but now she's at the bottom of the FBI food chain--until her first case
threatens everyone around her.
Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses
her hacking skills on another student's computer. Yet her mentor, Eve
Abajian, arranges a new beginning for her--as an intern in FBI's Boston
field office. Her new supervisor, Assistant Special Agent in Charge
William Keats, one of only two agents in the Northeast to make his rank
before the age of thirty, sees in Angela a fellow prodigy. But Angela's
skills come with a natural curiosity, which is also a dangerous
liability.
With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case:
tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When
Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into
overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove
fatal in the field.
