truth and justice, but she still has one very human weakness- enigmatic Irish
billionaire, Roarke. And when a trusted employee of Roarke Enterprises is a
suspect in a double-homicide, Roarke comes to Eve for help. Reva Ewing was a
former member of the Secret Service, and now a security specialist for Roarke
Enterprises-until she was found standing over the dead bodies of her husband,
renouned artist Blair Bissel, and her best friend. But Lieutenant Eve Dallas
believes there was more to the killing than jealous rage- all
of Bissel's computer files were deliberately corrupted. To Roarke, it's
the computer attack that poses the real threat. He and Reva have been under a
code- red government contract to develop a program that would shield against
techno- terrorists. But this deadly new breed of hackers isn't afraid to kill
to protect their secret-and it's up to Lieutenant Eve Dallas to shut them down
before the nightmare can spread to the whole country.

Celebrates one of
Perfume the story of a
murderer
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born under his mother's table at the fish market,
onto a pile of muddy fish guts, establishing from the beginning his repulsion
for putrid scents. A childhood of neglect and, later, a job at a tannery,
encourage Jean-Baptiste to develop his olfactory sense rather than his verbal
skills. An opportunity to prove his worth to Parisian perfumist Giuseppe
Baldini results in his immediate hire into a promising new career. His
successes in perfume mixing are negated by a blinding obsession for capturing
the sublime beauty of the human soul, which in his twisted logic requires the
killing of young women to reduce their body fats to essential oils for the
ultimate perfume.
