Items related to Chasing the Dime
The phone messages waiting for Henry Pierce clearly aren't for him: "Where is Lilly? This is her number. It's on the site." Pierce has just moved into a new apartment, and he's been "chasing the dime"--doing all it takes so his company comes out first with a scientific breakthrough worth millions. But he can't get the messages for Lilly out of his head. As Pierce tries to help a woman he has never met, he steps into a world of escorts, websites, sex, and secret passions. A world where his success and expertise mean nothing...and where he becomes the chief suspect in a murder case, trapped in the fight of his life.

Review:
Chasing the Dime starts a suspenseful urban nightmare with the simplest of things--a wrong number. Nanotechnology expert Henry Pierce has been working too hard--his girlfriend Nicole has thrown him out for it--and moves into a new apartment, where the phone continually rings with calls for Lily, a high-price call girl with her own Web site; Henry, whose prostitute sister was murdered by a serial killer, has his own reasons for worrying about her safety and cannot let things alone. When he should be registering patents and pursuing finance, he spends days using the hacker skills he and his friend Cody devised at college to track her down, along the way falling foul of brutal gangster Wentz and suspicious cop Renner; the thing about Henry, both as scientist and man, is that he is obsessively curious.
Review:
Most of Michael Connolly's books have dealt with cops either working within the rules or bending them; here he has an intelligent, highly logical man making up investigatory leg-work as he goes along, and realising as he works that he is as much pursued as pursuer, and that it is not only his own demons that are chasing him. Chasing the Dime is a gruelling puzzle from a master of misdirection and suspense. --Roz Kaveney
