Read by Brittany Pressley.Angela's graduate school days at MIT come to an abrupt end when she uses her hacking skills on another student's computer.

With little training, Angela is quickly plunged into a tough case: tracking murderous brothers who go by the Poet and the Engineer. When Keats tells her to "watch and listen," Angela's mind kicks into overdrive. The obsessive thinking that earned her As on campus can prove fatal in the field.
