4.5 stars. I thoroughly enjoyed Nancy C. Weeks's debut novel, IN THE SHADOW OF GREED, because it has an original plot involving a unique heroine, Sarah Tu, an Asian-American woman scientist, mathematician, and computer guru, who works for a cyber-security company called NORAN. Although the plot falls squarely into the romantic suspense genre, it has a tantalizing paranormal element as well, because of psychic messages sent to Sarah and the hero, FBI agent Jason McNeil, via Sarah's sister, Hanna. I was so interested in this I wish there had been more as to the why and how of these tantalizing psychic connections. That being said, this is a wonderful read and a page-turner, and I truly appreciated Ms. Weeks's excellent research about computers, mathematics, cyber-terrorism, and police/FBI procedures. I've heard there is a sequel in the works, and I look forward to reading about the further adventures of Sarah and Jason, and the rest of the McNeil clan.
