Review Excerpts from Amazon and Goodreads:

"This book was a pleasant surprise. I thought a book by a first time author on computer hacking and medical records would be dry and heavy on advanced computer terms. Instead Mr. Mudgett wrote a well-paced and easy to follow mystery." - Bruce Hamilton, Goodreads Reviewer

"I would highly recommend this novel for anyone that is a fan of crime stories, computer hacking, or suspense stories, or for anyone that just wants to read a really good book." -  William P. Foster, Amazon Reviewer

"It needs some editing for punctuation and spelling, but those are not the kind that makes you put the book down at all. The story is well developed and the sequence of events makes sense. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this debut story by Paul Mudgett and would recommend it for those who like a nice action story. Well done!" - Andrea B., Amazon Reviewer

"Plenty of twists and turns to keep me interested and up way past my bedtime to read the last several chapters." - Susan Smith, Amazon Reviewer
