SummaryAs if a recent break-up, scrounging for rent money, and
lusting after designer shoes weren't enough to make graduate
student Melanie Prescott's life challenging, suddenly she's
practically living The DaVinci Code. A mysterious stranger
is sending obscure codes and clues her way and she soon
discovers she has to solve them in order to stay alive. With
stakes like that, her dissertation on "the derivation and
primary characteristics of codes and ciphers used by
prevailing nations during wartime" is looking a little less
important than it was yesterday. Right now she's just
worrying about living to see tomorrow. The only bright spot
in the whole freakish nightmare is Matthew Stryker, the
six-foot tall dark and handsome stranger who's determined to
protect her. Well, that and the millions of dollars that
will be her reward if she survives this deadly game. And
she'd better survive. Because that's a heck of a lot of
money to be able to spend on shoes and handbags and
sunglasses and dresses, and, well, it's hard to be
fashionable when you're dead.
