When a high-tech geek named Eddie ends up in the hospital, the victim of a hit-and-run "accident," Turing the AI computer comes to the aid of her private detective friend Tim to find out who was responsible, an investigation that leads to some of Eddie's unsavory friends who are using his computers in a variety of scams, cons, and other less-than-legal endeavors.

Donna Andrews is the author of two award-winning mystery series.
The prolific Andrews, author of the highly popular bird-themed Meg Langslow series, delivers another entertaining installment featuring Turing Hopper. If Turing were human, her kindness, intelligence, and integrity would make her a much-admired protagonist; the fact that she is an AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Personality (sort of like a sentient computer), makes her all the more noteworthy. Running the Alan Grace Corporation like the unseen Charlie of Charlie's Angels, Turing has let a handful of humans in on the truth of her existence. Two of these, Maude and Tim, are working with Turing to discover what happened to Eddie Stallman, a "computer nerd" who hosted Web sites in Virginia and was killed by a hit-and-run driver. As Turing looks into the mystery, she also continues to search for T2, an AIP "sister" who may have been kidnapped by Turing's archenemy, Nestor Garcia. As usual, Andrews concocts a farfetched plot, but readers (justifiably) enamored with Turing won't care. A unique and charming series. Jenny McLarin
