  Child is probably best known as the author, with Douglas Preston, of the Special Agent Pendergast thrillers (Bloodless, 2021), but has also written several solo novels, a handful of which have featured Jeremy Logan, an investigator of phenomena that seem to defy explanation. In the latest Logan novel, the sixth in the series, a massive corporation known as Chrysalis is under attack. Members of its board are dying in bizarre circumstances. Could it be murder? Do the deaths have anything to do with Chrysalis' new virtual-reality technology that millions of people will soon be using? There is a formula to the Logan novels, and it's a good one: something seemingly inexplicable happens, and Logan, using a combination of brute-force logic and wild imagination, solves the puzzle in the nick of time. That's well and good, but It's what happens along the way that makes the books so enjoyable: the false leads, blind alleys, and bad assumptions; the slow accumulation of facts that points to a solution that cannot possibly be true—except that it must be. An intriguing, suspenseful, and very satisfying thriller. Copyright 2022 Booklist Reviews.
