The Remains of the Dead

Julie Moffett

Meet Lexi Carmichael, geek girl extraordinaire I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I’ve never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella. Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I’ve enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America’s most sensitive electronic networks—to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her. Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men—it’s a geek girl’s dream come true. If it weren’t for those gun-toting thugs...

Mais ces jours-ci, j'ai dû me rendre à l'évidence : ces simples pressentiments sont en fait de véritables visions. J'ai découvert deux crimes en deux jours ! Du coup, la police me soupçonne et le cabinet d'avocats pour lequel je travaille m'a suspendue de mes fonctions. Me voici donc sans boulot, sans argent et presque sous les verrous. Seul point positif : Clay Sanderson, l'avocat le plus sexy du cabinet, s'est proposé d'assurer ma défense. Et je compte bien en profiter pour lui donner rendez-vous dans mon bar à cocktails favori !
