Great follow up. Standard police procedural fare, but with interesting scifi twist. It's fortunate that the main protagonist is a rich kid, because he keeps destroying his threeps - feels like a shortcut though.

I finished reading this in one day immediately after reading Lock In. It was the perfect snow day read with the clues to the mystery metered out slowly enough to keep it interesting but quickly enough to keep up a pace. Over all a very solid read!
