Blue Nowhere, Jeffery Deavers

Reviewed by Carlos Vazquez

           
 I felt that even though Jeffery Deavers did a wonderful job, with this psychological mystery, some of the of the character development was a bit weak. Personally, I thought that the villain could have been stronger, and a lot more vicious, that isn't saying that "Phate" wasn't bad enough but I thought it could' be worse.   Still, the book was incredible and insatiably delightful, in a wickedly psychotically delicious and yet disturbing way.
                            
 The Blue Nowhere, was written in 2001, so some of the computer terms such  IBM are a bit  obsolete, for todays' technical norms. Mr. Deavers has invited readers to experience a  somewhat mentally unstable, villain.  Our villain is a suffering, wicked computer hacker, named  Phate. Phate is a stalker, that takes his targets out one by one, using disguises, and his base tool of elimination is the internet.  

   The good guy is Wyatt Gillette although  he is a unlikely hero.  Wyatt was locked up for hacking the Federal Reserve. The question that I pose is How do you catch a hacker? The answer, get a better hacker.  

 I liked the book because it was fascinating and disturbing. However this story is incredible and yes I would recommend it to anyone who likes to be scared. Now don't take my word for it read it for yourself.
