Hardware by Linda Barnes

When Boston P.I. Carlotta Carlyle decides to join the computer age and take her business on-line, she quickly learns that information is cheap and access can be deadly. Accustomed as she is to Boston's mean streets, cruising them regularly while moonlighting for the Green & White Cab Company, survival takes on a whole new meaning when Carlotta is hired to investigate a series of vicious attacks on cabbies. Her bosses, wheelchair-bound Gloria, the soul queen of cab dispatchers, and Sam Gianelli, Carlotta's on-again, off-again lover, are sending mixed messages. Not so her ex-boss: Lieutenant Mooney of the Boston police urges her to trade in her old .38 revolver for some high-tech hardware. Before it's too late. The questions - and violence - escalate when Sam reluctantly introduces Carlotta to his childhood friend, "Frank," a code-busting data-bank genius who offers her the computer deal of a lifetime. But who is "Frank"? What dark history do he and Sam share?. This 1995 Hodder & Stoughton Trade Paperback is in fair condition.
