An assault on Blindside, a high-tech corporation dealing in computer espionage, leaves eight employees blown away. But the faceless killers made two mistakes: They left two witnesses.

Postal employee Molly Gannon and hacker Jeb Picot are suspected by authorities as accomplices. They have only one way to clear their names: unearth the secrets buried in the ashes of Blindside.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT READ!, March 7, 2005

If you enjoy fast-paced action, sharp dialogue, and a brainy heroine who can deal serious bodily injury, pick this up. Opens with an Internet startup firm specializing in cryptography getting brutally shot up in broad daylight by a hit team disguised as postmen--but two eyewitnesses survive. Suspected by the police, the FBI, and the general public, they desperately try to stay ahead of the multiple shadowy teams trying to kill them--and figure out what's going on. The multiple plot twists and close calls will keep you turning the pages. I literally could not put it down. If you're like me, you will be tempted to read the ending about halfway through, BUT DON'T DO IT. I assure you that the conclusion is VERY satisfying. Highly recommended.
