As a favor to her colleague, Dale Hessman, freelance computer analyst Angela Bennett conducts a preliminary 
analysis of a puzzling "beta" prototype of a new Internet program that peculiarly allows the user access to 
such highly sensitive databases as the Federal Reserve Board, the IRS, and the Atomic Energy Commission. After 
Dale is mysteriously killed in a plane crash, Angela travels to Mexico for a long-delayed vacation. She meets 
Jack Devlin, a charming young businessman who seems to share her outlook on the world. But shortly thereafter, 
Angela is nearly killed and her keys, passport, and all identification papers are lost. She soon learns that 
using the Internet, someone has altered every record of her life and given her a new name, identity, and a 
falsified police record. With little money, no identification and no credibility, Angela must summon the 
strength and resources to fight the seemingly unbeatable forces determined to silence her. 

==========

Angela Bennett's a software engineer type who works from home and has few friends outside of cyberspace. Taking 
her first vacation in years she becomes embroiled in a web (sic) of computer espionage.

==========

Angela Bennett is a computer expert. This young and beautiful analyst is never far from a computer and modem. 
The only activity she has outside of computers is visiting her mother. A friend, whom she's only spoken to over 
the net and phone, Dale Hessman, sent her a program with a weird glitch for her to de-bug. That night, he left 
to meet her and was killed in a plane crash. Angela discovers secret information on the disk she has received 
only hours before she leaves for vacation. Her life then turns into a nightmare, her records are erased from 
existence and she is given a new identity, one with a police record. She struggles to find out why this has 
happened and who has it in for her.
