John Bent isn't your typical amateur detective. Sure, he spent eight years as a homicide detective for Montgomery County, Maryland, but then he served three years in prison for boosting cocaine from the evidence locker. (He was innocent of that particular crime . . .) A few weeks after he gets out of prison, Bent, who has an aptitude for computers, lands a job as a software developer on an important NASA contract. Hired to replace a programmer killed in a suspicious ski accident, Bent finds his new career more dangerous than his previous one. On his first day at work he discovers another team member, a reserved computer guru, dead of an apparent suicide. Four days later, someone murders the database administrator--hours after her date with John Bent. Are the three deaths related to the project? Is someone trying to frame Bent for the murders? Now it's getting personal, and Bent is determined to find and stop the killer before everyone on the project is murdered.
