Book Overview

//WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE/

The Internet...a world without rules, without boundaries. Where you can be anyone you want, whoever you aren't. And it's all just a click away....

Nick Annunciato wants to impress his new girlfriend's father. So when he flies to Key West with his own father, who's a cookbook author and chef, and his stepsister, Annie, to attend a local food festival, he places an notice on the Internet: "I'm in Key West looking for the obvious contraband."

Nick does get a response. But what he doesn't realize is that he has unwittingly thrown himself and Annie into a dangerous swirl of murder, mayhem, and Cuban cigars. Who is the dead man missing a hand? Can Nick and Annie find the killer before he cooks up more trouble? Will this adventure be their last?

Different people in different places. The one thing they have in common is a new address on the Internet: danger.com. Where all your fears come true.

Customer Reviews

So suspenseful, you won't want to stop!

Danger.com / Dead Man's Hand by Jordan Cray was a great fiction book for kids and adults of all ages. I really enjoyed the book because I never wanted to put it down. The suspense made it so interesting and you never knew what was going to happen next. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to read a good suspenseful story. A couple of reasons why I liked this book was because you got to know the main character Nick Annunciato very well and it almost felt like he was someone you knew, because the author gives such detail in what he does. Also, the suspense is a key factor into why I picked out this book, I always like to have a reason to keep reading a story, and this book you will never want to stop! I also read Danger.com / Shiver and they all were about someone on the internet, I found them very interesting also!

The book that had supense!

I loved this book so much because it never let you dry for suspense. I was always wanting to read more and more. I couldn't stop. This book had a fantastic main charcters that seemed like I could meet them down the street. I love these books and I have already read a couple of the "Danger.com". Each story almost seemed to almost happen on the internet. The charters in this book made a mistake to tell online that he wanted illegal cigars. This is why it left me in suspense because I never knew what was going to happen to them.

Danger.NET

This was a sequal to Shadow man. This is a MUST have if you have read that one. It takes you on differnt twists and turns, but it always leads you back one way or another. If you like the internet, you'll love this!
