Publisher Description
It’s eighty-five degrees in the shade when Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth pull into the MPD parking garage. They’re driving a tricked-out Caddy, repossessed from a low-level drug dealer. It’s not a Beemer or a Mercedes, but it’s got GPS, air-conditioning, and power seats with more positions than the Kama Sutra. Things are heating up inside the stationhouse, too. The bomb squad’s off to investigate another suspicious package at the mall, and kids are beating the crap out of one another and posting it on YouTube. And before Magozzi and Rolseth can wish for a straight-on homicide, the call comes in: a floater. Soon they’re humping it along a derelict stretch of the Mississippi River, beyond the green places where families picnic and admire the views. They can see her — she looks like a bride in her white formal gown — facedown, dead in the water. And so it begins. Across town, Grace McBride’s Monkeewrench crew — the computer geeks who, after making a fortune on games, are now helping the cops with anticrime software — have been recruited by the FBI to investigate a series of murder videos posted on the Web. It’s not long before Magozzi, Rolseth, and Monkeewrench discover the frightening link between the unlucky bride and the latest, most horrific use of the Internet to date. Using their skills to scour the Net in search of the perpetrator, the team must race against the clock to stop a killer in his tracks.

"Enjoyed this book. Good plot line. The tension wasn't as high in previous books instead they focused on developing the new character's character so hopefully this means they will be featured in future books. The last couple of pages were a surprise. Can't wait for the next book!"
— Jenny (4 out of 5 stars)
Shoot to Thrill Listener Reviews

" More about the two Minneapolis detectives than the Monkeewrench crew. Interesting but moved slowly enough that I skipped around a bit. Not bad but not engaging. "
— Lindig, 2/16/2014 -
" It's been at least a year since I read the last PJ Tracy novel, but within a few pages, I was sensing a bit of deja vu. The series characters seem to repeat the same lines, or variations on the same, in each book. I found the most interesting part to be the last few pages of the book. "
— Siobhan, 2/15/2014 -
" I'm a big fan of the Minnesota-based thriller/mystery genre, and PJ Tracy is one of the best. Solid characters, good story lines, every one is a treat. "
— Stephanie, 2/10/2014 -
" Got this in a give away. I am going to have to find the rest and read them. "
— Travis, 2/4/2014 -
" Finally, another Monkeewrench book and it did not disappoint. Very intriguing ending. Hopefully there won't be such a time gap between this book and the next. "
— Sandi, 1/30/2014 -
" While I liked this one, I don't think it comes up to the first ones in the series. The plot line was a little weak - it mostly functioned (for me) as a scare tactic about the internet, which is certainly scary enough, even without all the characters hyerventilating about it! "
— Miki, 1/25/2014 -
" Not too much of Grace and the gang here, but the Maggozzi - Rolseth team escapades and the addition of self-effacing John Smith, FBI, made for a rollicking roll based on a frightening Internet scheme. I hope we don't have to wait another 4 years for the next one! "
— E, 1/19/2014 -
" Very hard storyline to follow and too many characters going too many different directions. 2 separate murder plots and at times things were just too confusing. "
— Sandra, 1/6/2014 -
" Shoot to Thrill was amazing. It blended murder and the use of technology perfectly. The Monkeewrench crew helped the FBI solve this one after videos of murder were put on the web. I liked this book, and will share it with others! "
— Kelsey, 1/5/2014 -
" I love this whole series. Mysteries with offbeat characters and terrific writing. Perfect escapist reading. "
— Melissa, 12/24/2013 -
" Enjoyable as all their book for me. "
— Ashley, 8/5/2013 -
" I love Monkeewrench and I loved this book. It's not the crimes, it's the people. I love them all. Welcome to John Smith and Chelsea Thomas, great additions to the group. Thank you, PJ Tracy, another winner. "
— Paula, 7/2/2013 -
" Not the best in the series but still enjoyable. Not enough of Harley, Roadrunner and Fat Annie but Magozzi-Gino are great. Grace is just annoying and the terribly ambiguous ending a bit of a cop out. "
— HKd, 1/22/2013 -
" What was up with the ending??? Lord I hope we don't have to wait four years to find out what the heck the ending was all about. "
— Keri, 11/5/2012 -
" Entertaining read on the train - really a 3.5. I always enjoy the local references to Minnesota & Wisconsin. "
— Susannah, 9/25/2012 -
" I am *beyond* thrilled to see this series back. Write fast ladies, write fast! "
— Kiy, 8/11/2012 -
" Someone or several someones are killing people and posting the deaths on the internet. It's up to the Monkeewrench crew working with John Smith from the FBI and Magozzi and Rolseth to try and find out who is behind it. "
— Paula, 5/10/2012 -
" I loved this book...couldn't put it down! Good, fast-paced cyber-crimes murder mystery! "
— Inga, 2/20/2012 -
" Not finished yet, but thoroughly enjoying it "
— Bruce, 11/28/2011 -
" Welcome back, P. J. Tracy. It was great see the Monkeewrench team again. The mystery was great and you also see growth in the characters. "
— Mary, 6/22/2010 -
" Mother/daughter MN writers put out a good mystery again. Monkeewrench computer weirdos/crime solvers win again. "
— Paulette, 6/7/2010 -
" This ending certainly makes the reader want to read the next book in the series. "
— Angie, 4/26/2010
