Reviewers Say:
"This is the second in Purdy Kong's Alex Bellamy mystery series. I always enjoy a well crafted, well written mystery novel and "Fatal Encryption" is one of them. Not only does it have a gripping plot and three dimensional characters, there is a well-woven subtext throughout. See if you can figure that ou while you try to identify the killer. This is the type of book that makes you long for the next in the series as you approach the end - a page turner with more depth than most." - Julie Ferguson
"Debra Purdy Kong writes with a flair for technology. Fatal Encryption has a timely plot. The thought of Alex in a frog costume brings humor and depth to his character. This is an entertaining read. Mystery readers will love it." - Debra Gaynor, ReviewYourBook.com
"A non-geeky computer mystery, well, at least a minimally geeky computer mystery. Set in Canada and nicely done".-- Jack Quick, bookbitch.com
"FATAL ENCRYPTION is a corporate caper with plenty of twists and turns, and an assortment of appealing characters to keep you guessing. Debra Purdy Kong's newest novel offers a well-plotted mystery reminiscent of the classic whodunits. A great beach read!" -- Cheryl Kaye Tardif, bestselling author
