Raw Data

Silicon Valley #1

by Sally Chapman

In Silicon Valley, intelligence is artificial. Murder is not. Julie Blake is the youngest vice-president at ICI- a major player in the Silicon Valley computer arena. Between swigs of Maalox, an occasional date with her fiancé and managing a crew of eccentric computer wizards, life is, well, busy. Especially when the body of a top-secret Project 6 programmer is found inside a huge mainframe. Julie has two weeks before Project 6 is terminated-leaving her on the fast track to nowhere. With the help of a maverick computer investigator who gets on her nerves as well as her libido, Julie follows a growing trail of bodies-as a killer silences anyone who gets in the way.

Surprisingly effective and affective. Julie Blake transforms from the driven, career ladder climber
to a sensitive boss to her team trying to perfect their Project 6. After all someone has killed one of the team and stuffed the body in the back of the their super computer, Larry. Their project has national and international implications so they get the FBI and NSA breathing down their necks. Good twist in the end...

This was a good 1st book for this author. It is set in the San Francisco area/Silicon Valley and computer programmers are being murdered left and right and Julie Blake, their boss, has to find out who and why.

This was a good book and is the first of a 4 book series
