It all started when Georgina Powers has sex with an interviewee - the first time ever in a ten-year career in journalism. But what could have been a forgettable "quickie" becomes a shaming obsession and worse, a deadly stimulus for the ice-cold killer. By the author of "The Pizza House Crash".

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
It's hard to imagine a book merely 10 years old feeling like a "period piece," but that's exactly how Denise Danks's Frame Grabber, released in Britain in 1992, comes across. The virtual world that lies at the heart of the story is a multi-player online game involving sordid sexual conquests instead of dragons and fantasy quests. Technology reporter Georgina Powers becomes enmeshed in this world when she engages in a twisted affair with virtual reality expert David Jones, who enjoys acting out his sadomasochistic fantasies in both the real and virtual worlds. Despite the book's dated premise, Georgina is a complex heroine who bears weaknesses to match her ample strengths, and Danks's clean, snappy prose keeps the story moving at a fast clip.

Strange Mystery,
By
This review is from: Frame Grabber (Georgina Powers Crime Novels) (Paperback)
" Frame Grabber" is a strange and more than slightly disturbing mystery. It involves a lot technical computer knowledge, whish, alas, I do not possess, and spiced up violent Internet virtual relity porn. In this uneasy mixture of technical information (snooze...), and twisted sexuality, it becomes almost impossible to relate to any of the characters. Above all, the heroine of this book, to put it mildly, weird Georgina Powers, was bigger puzzle to me than any of the quirks of this novel. Why this lady does what she does is still completely unknown to me. People do all kind of strange things, including myself, but if you decide to write about them, than we need some clues or reasons.They are sorely missing in this incomplete book.
