This will be a very short review. It's a cyber tech novel that came out right in the heyday of cyber books and shows. The description makes you think it's a regular book about police tracking down a serial killer set in a cyber tek world. Do you remember Tek War, based on Shatner's books of the same name? It's like that...only much darker and twisted in every way.

It gives very graphic depictions of the crimes being committed including all the sick details. I think the main purpose of this book was just to see how many deplorable descriptions could be worked into one book. This left me with a very queasy feeling the entire time I was reading it, and one that kept me from reading anything else by this author ever since.
