Thriller Picking up where Man Overboard ended, Stu Ramey and his colleagues from High Noon Enterprises are maneuvered by a Panamian banker, Graciella Miramar, to revive the artificial intelligence (named Frigg). Frigg was developed by the deceased serial killer, Owen Hansen (a/k/a Odin), who transferred Hansen's illegal gains to Ramey to save herself and who has the passwords needed to pay taxes on this wealth. Turns out that Graciella is the illegitimate, psychopathic daughter of a Mexican drug lord, intent on grabbing power and changing the family business. The highlights of the book are whether or not Frigg can be rehabilitated to be good or whether she is a threat to High Noon and its principals and Stu Ramey's development from recluse to human being, assisted, of course, by Cami Lee. His interaction with Hansen's mother is especially surprising. On the other hand, we see very little of Ali Reynolds in this book. DUEL TO THE DEATH by J A Jance I love Jance’s Brady and Beaumont mysteries, but am not so enamored of the Ali Reynolds series. Consequently, I have read a few of the series, but not all. I picked this one up because I was in need of a book and away from home. This one was available, so I gave it a try. I liked it – a lot! Ali is now married and no longer a journalist. She and her husband, along with a few others, run a cyber security firm. They find themselves in the midst of a mafia/drug lord war when their unassuming, slightly shy, perhaps autistic, computer genius employee finds himself suddenly possessed of a fortune in bitcoins – likely all the profits of said drug lord/mafia kingpins. The twists and turns of this – how to get rid of said bitcoins without going to jail or getting killed – makes a great mystery. The computer stuff is understandable. The danger is palpable. Now I want to go back and read the preceding novels to discover the character development I missed. 5 of 5 stars aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieAli Reynolds (13)
"From New York Times bestselling author and "grand master of the game" (The Providence Journal) J.A. Jance, an electrifying new thriller featuring Ali Reynolds. After taking down the man responsible for his best friend's death, Stuart Ramey thinks the case is finally closed. That is, until Stu finds himself left with a multimillion dollar fortune in Bitcoin in a desperate bid by Frigg, a rogue A.I. program created by the killer, to keep itself from being fully deactivated. To sort out his situation and take Frigg down for good, Stu enlists the help of Ali Reynolds and the rest of his cyber security colleagues at High Noon Enterprises. But they are not the only ones who know about Frigg's existence. Graciella Miramar, an unassuming accountant to all appearances, is actually the right-hand woman to El Pescado, the leader of a dangerous drug cartel. She'll do anything to get her hands on that program. With Frigg's help, Graciella hopes to take over her father's criminal underworld and become wealthy beyond her wildest dreams. But Stu--and El Pescado and his henchmen--may not be so easily defeated. Written in J.A. Jance's classic "take-no-prisoners" style (Kirkus Reviews), in this thriller, Stu, Ali, and their team will come to realize that everything has its price"--
"The thirteenth book in New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance's popular series featuring Ali Reynolds, a former Los Angeles news anchor turned amateur sleuth"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
