SILICON VALLEY: His code name is Phate -- a sadistic computer
hacker who infiltrates people's computers, invades their lives, and
with chilling precision lures them to their deaths. Desperate to
stop him, the California State Police Computer Crimes Unit frees
former hacker Wyatt Gillette to aid the investigation. As the
obsessive Gillette fervently attempts to trace the hacker's
insidious computer virus back to its source, Phate delivers a huge
blow -- murdering one of the division's own. Now, teamed with
old-school homicide detective Frank Bishop, Gillette must combine
their disparate talents to catch a brilliant and merciless
killer.
