Matt’s last thriller Hooked introduced us to journalist Nat Idle. Nat is now a blogger for Medblog but he does have a habit of exposing the police to public scrutiny so when someone takes a potshot at him in Golden Gate Park he’s concerned ; but more concerned because he had his Grandma Lane with him and just before the shooting started Lane said ‘danger’
Lane is in a nursing home since her mind dropped off a cliff. She’s trying to record her personal history using a computer program called the Human Memory Crusade. Lane advocated the program and got the director to sign up. He didn’t argue too much because the computers didn’t cost him a thing.
Nat, worried that something is happening to his grandmother starts to investigate and uncovers a military funded conspiracy that takes the internet into the 22nd century using organic assets and they’ve already sourced a unwitting supply. Nat’s just learned he’s about to become an adult and settle down but he just can’t leave the story alone. It may be the last one he ever files.
