Computers have changed the way we all live, until now. Now they determine how we will die.When John Sanford developed his program to ease the many side effects of hours at a computer terminal, he thought he was going to win a Pulitzer. Instead he unleashed a deadly virus that could turn the kindest of men into a ruthless killer, and he wouldn't know it.

Robert McKinley regretted taking the case from the moment he made the decision. As attached as he was to Jake Westfall, Robert was not prepared to accept the potential for losses to his team. The case starts off bad with a firefight at the airport, and goes downhill from there. Placing his team in extreme jeopardy is not how Robert likes to work, but in this case, as the body count grows, his options run out.

As a detective, Robert McKinley is a DA's dream. He's intelligent, subtle as a freight train, and fearless.But when someone messes with his family, he's everyone's nightmare. His nephew, a horse trainer in Kentucky, is brutally stabbed while looking into a strange string of equine deaths. As Robert digs into the case, the list of suspects grows longer, at first, but then shortens suddenly as they start to die off. The figure of guilt finally points very close to home, leaving Robert with few options.
