A patron recommended this book to me. She said it was a real page turner and she could not put it down. Well, for me, not so much. I really had a hard time getting into this book. It seems like the enitre 1st part of the book is spent explaining Whirl360, a computer program that allows you to see street views of any city in the world. Thomas, is a schizophrenic, who is obsessed with this program. It is his goal to memorize every city in the world. It is his belief that one day a virues will wipe out all computer images and maps, there will be no paper maps left, as we are dependent on the computer. The government will need him to reconstruct the maps of the world, and in the meantime, if a CIA agent is lost in a city, they can call on Thomas to rescue them! While memorizing the streets of New York, he notices an image in a window. What is that? It looks like a woman being suffocated by a bag over her head! He convines his brother, Ray, to travel to New York, find this apartment, and solve the mystery of this image. Talk about your proverbial can of worms! Little did they know that by flashing around this one image, they would be putting their lives at risk. I will admit, that about the middle of the book, I did get caught up in the drama of how these brothers would survive with a very efficient, ice pick/plastic bag wielding assassin after them. Lots of twists and turns in this story.
