Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon:
Maxine
Tarnow is running a nice little fraud investigation business on the Upper West
Side, chasing down different kinds of small-scale con artists. She used to be
legally certified but her license got pulled a while back, which has actually
turned out to be a blessing because now she can follow her own code of ethics:
carry a Beretta, do business with sleazebags, hack into people’s bank accounts;
without having too much guilt about any of it. Otherwise, just your average
working mom: two boys in elementary school, an off-and-on situation with her
sort of semi-ex-husband Horst, life as normal as it ever gets in the
neighborhood - till Maxine starts looking into the finances of a
computer-security firm and its billionaire geek CEO, whereupon things begin
rapidly to jam onto the subway and head downtown. She soon finds herself mixed
up with a drug runner in an art deco motorboat, a professional nose obsessed
with Hitler’s aftershave, a neoliberal enforcer with footwear issues, plus
elements of the Russian mob and various bloggers, hackers, code monkeys, and
entrepreneurs, some of whom begin to show up mysteriously dead. Foul play, of
course. Check Availability
