In this sequel to Icecore, computer hacker Carl is in hiding in London with Beth. He's one of the world's most wanted criminals, and there's a bounty on his head. The plot highlights the fact that the flaw in any computer is its human element--and this is Carl's flaw as well. Short chapters and present-tense narration make for a highly suspenseful read.
