Louie Cogburn had spent three days holed up in his apartment, staring at his computer screen. His pounding headache was unbearable - like spikes drilling into his brain. And it was getting worse. Finally, when someone knocked at his door, Louie picked up a baseball bat, opened the door, and started swinging...

The first cop on the scene fired his stunner twice and Louie died instantly. Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but there's nothing to explain the man's sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved.

And when a second man dies under nearly identical circumstances, Dallas starts racking her brain for answers and for courage to face the impossible...that this might be a computer virus able to spread from machine to man...

Crossing the boundary between literal and virtual reality is the basis for PURITY IN DEATH. In a convincing narrative, a computer virus attacks a target victim's central nervous system, bringing certain excruciating death. The story is a suspenseful delight for the listener who is fascinated by the exploits of serial killers. Susan Ericksen is flawless as the articulate, hard-driving Detective Eve Dallas. Ericksen's crisp enunciation and beautifully paced reading style convey the nuance of interior thought as well as the death cries of the afflicted victims. The book is awash in blood and flashy techno-jargon, which Ericksen handles with skill and energy. M.D.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
