A new kind of predator is stalking the Internet, looking for more than an exchange of online intimacies...
A WARNING - Your life is in jeopardy. As you read this, you are within reach of a murderer.
SNOWFLAKE is a psychopathic genius who has found a way of accessing the personal details of other net surfers - of getting face-to-face without their consent. The bulletin board has become a lethal weapon.
But when SNOWFLAKE locks on to Kate Lavin he also pitches up against her ex-husband Ellis Hoile, the only man capable of tracking him through cyberspace. The game is to get Kate - to get out of the labyrinth before the killer strikes - and it means playing the final round F2F.

This book tells the tale of how one 'superior intellect' trawls the BBS's, Message Boards and Chat Rooms for potential victims, identifies them, then entraps them in his hidden lair. He leaves clues that only another mental giant can decipher. That's where Ellis Hoile enters the picture. He is targetted, along with his ex-wife, and so is drawn into the maniac's game of cat and mouse, where there is no cheese at the end, only certain death... but after all, in life, nothing is certain.

The Wellington and Auckland of the 1960's and 1970's might not be the height of cosmopolitan sophistication to today's New Zealanders, but at the time they were an eye-opener and an inspiration.
