aka the Romance of IT. This is a novel that reads like a business school case study. It's not a very good novel but I've learned some stuff.

Embedded in the film are subliminal images so unspeakably heinous that Lucie realizes she must get to the bottom of it--especially when nearly everyone connected to the film starts turning up dead. Enlisting the help of Inspector Franck Sharko--a brooding, broken profiler for the Paris police...".
