After a hit-and-run leaves Eddie, a young techie, in the hospital, his grandmother hires Turing’s PI friend Tim to look closely at Eddie’s business, which he runs out of their computer-filled basement. So while Turing tries to break into the computers, Tim interrogates the reclusive techie’s sleazy friends, who use his computers to run unsavory websites and steal credit card numbers.
But then the feds show up, looking for an online vigilante who’s also using Eddie’s computers. Caught in the middle, Turing and her friends can’t let the vigilante continue, but they can’t tell the FBI anything without revealing Turing’s identity. So they become vigilantes themselves. And what started as a hit-and-run becomes a deadly game of computer-and-mouse...
“Andrews makes us rethink what it means to be human.”—Margaret Maron
“The quirky, engrossing fourth ‘techno-cozy’ from Agatha Award–winner Andrews [is] full of surprising twists and turns that should keep techies glued to the page.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Another entertaining installment featuring Turing Hopper. If Turing were human, her kindness, intelligence, and integrity would make her a much-admired protagonist; the fact that she is an AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Personality (sort of like a sentient computer), makes her all the more noteworthy...like the unseen Charlie of Charlie’s Angels...readers [are] justifiably enamored with Turing.”—Booklist
“Turing Hopper has more personality than most humans do...only [bending] the law to prevent her sentience from being discovered.”—Midwest Book Review
