Summary

Net Force Created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik is back with a new cyberterrorism challenge which challenges the world's money supply.  
  The year is 2018, but some things haven't changed: personal liberties are eroding across the world, countries are taking up arms against their neighbors, and the United States remains the leader of the Free World. 
  Prince Sami Mustafa of Birhan is not a bad man. Educated in the West, he maintains close ties with the US. But Birhan's economic and political instability threaten his rule, and he fears he will soon be deposed like other rulers throughout his region. If the US sides with the rebels, he has no hope of surviving. 
  Unknown to Mustafa, there are sinister forces at work within his own government that will soon compel America to align against him. When a nerve gas attack massacres his ethnic opposition, the prince is horrified but ultimately held accountable. The US immediately threatens sanctions and military action. 
  The man secretly responsible for launching for the gas attack--a traitorous official within Mustafa's government--has other plans. He does the unthinkable and hires the services of master hacker Drajan Petrovik, one of a new crop of cyber-criminals known as technology vampires. Petrovik is a genius and a man without fear. 
  Petrovik knows that America can't be defeated--but it can be distracted. And he's got the plan and the tools to do it. He'll start by bringing this conflict home to US soil. If everything goes right, he'll end up not only buying time for the country of Birhan, but getting obscenely rich, too. 
  The only people standing between Petrovik and his destructive goals are a select group forming the nucleus of Net Force. Though still untested, the newly assembled Net Force team must simultaneously engage the cyber-terrorists abroad and fend off a crippling attack in America's largest city. Failure will mean global catastrophe. Success may lead Net Force to the highest level of the United States government.

    The ME ruled her death an accident. He was dead wrong.
 
When Mary Jane Bennett is found dead in her bed— alone, strangled by her own scarf, and with every door in the house locked — the medical examiner rules her death accidental, the result of a sex game gone horribly awry. State police decline to investigate further, but Queensbridge Police Chief Caleb Crane doesn't buy for a minute that his good friend died this way, so he undertakes his own investigation. Facing town councilors afraid of bad publicity, an angry medical examiner, and his own personal demons, he labors to solve what he believes is the first-ever murder in his pastoral Berkshire Hills village. Complicating things: the list of suspects includes some of the people to whom he is closest — including his own wife.
