À propos de cet audio

 The messages waiting for Henry Pierce when he plugs in his new telephone clearly aren't intended for him:
" Where is Lilly? This is her number. It's on the site."

Pierce has just been thrown out by his girlfriend and moved into a new apartment, and the company he founded is headed into the most critical phase of fund-raising. He's been "chasing the dime" - doing all it takes to come out first in a technological battle whose victor will make millions. But he can't get the messages for a woman named Lilly out of his head:
"Uh, yes, hello, my name is Frank. I'm at the Peninsula. Room six-twelve. So give me a call when you can."

Something is wrong. Pierce probes, investigates, and then tumbles through a hole, leaving behind a life driven by work to track down and help a woman he has never met.

The world he enters is one of escorts, Web sites, sex, and secret passions. The beautiful Lilly is an object of desire to thousands. To Pierce, she becomes the key that might fix a broken life. But in pursuing Lilly, Pierce has entered a landscape where his success and expertise mean nothing. He is a mark, an outsider, and soon he is also the victim of astonishing violence, the chief suspect in a murder case, and fighting for his life against forces he can barely discern.

"Connelly takes what could have been a typical suspense thriller and turns it into something exceptional through nonstop action and surprising twists." (Library Journal)

A really smart guy acting really dumb for most of this story.
Interesting look into the future of computers and the AI world.

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
Ordinarily, I love Michael Connelly's books, but this one is utter trash. It must have been written before the concept of "Show - Don't tell" became the mantra of authors and publishers everywhere. I made it to chapter 6 but finally had to quit because by then, I had no concept of what the story was all about. Sorry, Michael, maybe the next one will be a winner, but this one loses it for me.

CANNOT FINISH!!
