About this ebook

Jeffery Deaver, bestselling author of The Bone Collector and The Devil's Teardrop, delivers a masterful thriller about a psychotic computer hacker/killer. Set in Silicon Valley, full of stunning—and fact-based—technical details, The Blue Nowhere is Deaver for the 21st Century.

His code name is Phate—a sadistic computer hacker who infiltrates people's computers, invades their lives, and with chilling precision lures them to their deaths. To stop him, the authorities free imprisoned former hacker Wyatt Gillette to aid the investigation. Teamed with old-school homicide detective Frank Bishop, Gillette must combine their disparate talents to catch a brilliant and merciless killer.

Ratings and reviews

One of the best books I ever read is this one. A true thriller and breath-taking masterpiece that once you finish a chapter you can't help but read more and more to find out what happened next. You will keep guessing what happened next and be surprised when you find out. The technical side is delivered appropriately and the exciting events logically connect. This is by far the best novel for those who are fans of crime novels and mystery novels.

The Blue Nowhere is one of my favorite Deaver novels and one of his best stand-alone novels. All of the twists and surprises one would expect from Deaver are here. A good read, and a nice change from the Lincoln Rhyme & Kathryn Dancer universes.

Awesome book 📚📖
