Fatal Intrusion

Homeland Security Agent Carmen Sanchez is too law-abiding to take action on her own when her younger sister is attacked by a man whom Carmen suspects to have been a multi-time offender. Selina saw a spider tattoo on his wrist and provides an excellent description. But Carmen’s out of her jurisdiction to take on the case herself. Instead, she calls in a favor. She and Professor Jake Heron have an unpleasant history, but the private security expert knows his way around computers. Jake suspects the attacker they’re calling Spider is uncovering information about his victims on the internet. Spider is one step ahead of his hunters, leaving only a few clues as he kills people who seem to be random victims. Eventually, Spider’s actions reveal that he has an accomplice as skilled in hacking as Jake is. It’s strange that the killer seems to have no motive; perhaps he is using his attacks to draw Carmen and Jake into his web.
