The Mouse and the Maestro (Spies Like Us #3)

Blue Bishop is the best there is. So good, in fact, that hes become legend in the world of hackers. In the world of high stakes government espionage, hes a very round peg in a very square hole. Blue has seen it all, done it all, hacked it all. But he has never encountered anything like Jane Dunbar, a woman with absolutely no virtual footprint or online presence.

After being recruited to help authenticate a series of smuggled forgeries, Janes life goes from bad to worse. Her first impression on the group was horrible, and no matter how hard she tries to redeem herself, she cant. When quiet, conservative Jane is paired with the groups wisecracking, blue-haired hacker extraordinaire, neither is happy with the arrangement. But as it becomes clearer that someone is out for blood, Blue and Jane will have to lay aside their prejudices and work together for the greater good. When Jane becomes a target, it will be up to Blue to keep her safe. In the meantime, he begins to realize there is more to Jane than meets the eye. Is his suspicion of her unfounded, or is she playing both sides? And why, if shes a terrorist mastermind, can he still not stay away?
