DESCRIPTION:
INCLUDES A BONUS MP3 CD OF JEFFERY DEAVER'S THE BLUE NOWHERE! The latest Kathryn Dance thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sleeping Doll! The Monterey Peninsula is rocked when a killer begins to leave roadside crosses beside local highways -- not in memoriam, but as announcements of his intention to kill. And to kill in particularly horrific and efficient ways: using the personal details about the victims that they've carelessly posted in blogs and on social networking websites. Using techniques he learned as a brilliant participant in multiplayer online role-playing games, he easily eludes his pursuers and continues to track his victims. Among the obstacles Kathryn must hurdle are politicians from Sacramento, paranoid parents and the blogger himself, James Chilton, whose belief in the importance of blogging and the new media threatens to derail the case and potentially Dance's career. As the investigation progresses, Travis vanishes. It is this threat that causes Dance to take desperate and risky m

Dance's remarkable sixth sense concerning the truthfulness of suspects and witnesses becomes a double-edged sword in her social interactions with co-workers and family members, and Pawk's portrayal of the widowed detective's angst on the fledgling romantic front rings especially true. .

Unlike memorial crosses which indicate an anniversary of a road death, these roadside crosses have the current date on them - indicating that a killing will happen.The agent in-charge of the investigation, Kathryn Dance, stumbles into the world of blogging and inte. Put Up a cross for this one Roadside crosses are harbingers of death and disaster in this latest Kathryn Dance novel. Dance, a kinesics expert and agent with the California Bureau of Investigation,is drawn into the blogosphere in the hunt for a killer. Is it the victim of cyber bullying or evil corporate meanies behind the mischief? If you are able to slog through the incredibly boring first half of this book you will find out.I was disappointed with this novel and found it hard to finish. Deaver is the master of twist. Easy, light, read with good characters. Winnie the Pooh Really enjoying the Katherine Dance novels, story line in parts is a little weak, however they are good light novels, easy to read and I really like the on going thread running through them with Katherine and Michael from the very first one I thought that he and is wife would split up. Although I am now on to XO and she is having a relationship with the computer geek she met in roadside crosses. Oh well never mind I do have the fourth book so will wait and see what happens. I like the charac
