The B. S. Layer: A Blake Worthy Novel

By Jerry Coston

Blake Worthy is a programmer-a good one. He and his long-time friend and business partner, Frankie Jolley, own a thriving software consulting business in Little Rock, Arkansas. They love the challenge of a difficult problem. When the largest bank in Arizona calls Blake in to speed up their ATM network, it seems like any other job. On the flight home though, he realizes that some of the code he reviewed is causing much more serious problems than slow response time. The discovery leads Blake and friends into the heart of a murder investigation.

Follow Blake and his band of bright but quirky comrades through this sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant, but always witty and faithful look into the hearts and minds of programmers.

The B. S. Layer perfectly captures the world view of computer geeks-the logical thinking, the creativity, the camaraderie-and marries it with a great who-done-it plot.
