In Silicon Valley, intelligence is artificial. Murder is not. Julie Blake is the youngest vice-president at ICI- a major player in the Silicon Valley computer arena. Between swigs of Maalox, an occasional date with her fiancé and managing a crew of eccentric computer wizards, life is, well, busy. Especially when the body of a top-secret Project 6 programmer is found inside a huge mainframe. Julie has two weeks before Project 6 is terminated-leaving her on the fast track to nowhere. With the help of a maverick computer investigator who gets on her nerves as well as her libido, Julie follows a growing trail of bodies-as a killer silences anyone who gets in the way.
