O knihe
A 22 year old university student is dead, cut down by a sniper's bullet on the front steps of his Harvard Yard residence just a few short weeks before graduation. There are no other victims, no threats have been made against the university or its student population, no warnings of any kind, leaving legendary BPD detective Sean Costello and his young partner John Underwood scrambling for answers to their most baffling questions; Who and Why?
But to New York Times internet columnist Roy Harrington the murder is no mystery at all; the victim simply got what he deserved for his release of a devastating computer virus onto the internet two years earlier and Harrington proceeds to tell his readers the person delivering that fatal blow should be proclaimed a national hero. But the detectives aren't buying it; his timeline is all wrong, his motive far too frivolous for them to take seriously, but then only until a letter is delivered to The Times' head office telling Harrington he's a lot smarter than the cops are.
The Witchdoctor is the saga of one man's quest to rid the world of a 21st century scourge one victim at a time; a man who has lost everything: his business; his family; his life's dream to a computer virus; and a man who vows to continue his vendetta until those who have caused so much suffering and grief in the world either stop, or by God they will be stopped. The Witchdoctor is also a tale of hubris; the arrogance of Big Business and a few men who believe they are above the law, while a small band of yuppies want to prove that Roy Harrington is a charlatan and his Witchdoctor vigilante a hoax.
