Running Away to Boston - Anne Louise Bannon - Bog

There's always a way in...
Jannie Miller finds people. The only person she can't find is her mother, who supposedly perished in a tornado, but is deep in hiding from Jannie's abusive father. When Jannie's ex-boyfriend, FBI agent Brent Mikkelson, hires Jannie to find Tanya Coleman, a young witness to a vicious murder, he unwittingly drags Jannie into the violence.
Set in Los Angeles, Jannie soon suspects that Tanya might have more to her than anyone would guess. She's been working for Wheeling Corp., a think tank that only pretends to be benevolent. When Jannie gets too close, her mother comes out of hiding to warn Jannie off, but then accepts her daughter into the ragtag group of ethical computer hackers intent on bringing Wheeling down. It's not just Wheeling's unethical behavior. The group has discovered that the think tank is writing a virus that could bring the American economy to its knees.
It's a race against time and a hired assassin, as Jannie comes to know a mother who never really abandoned her and faces a boyfriend who couldn't be there for her.
