Chinese Summary/中文概要： 此系列融合了推理與警探小說，Kathleen Mallory這位創新、特別的女性警探角色，運用電腦專長與社會心理脈落的追蹤方式調查案件。紐約街頭頑童出身，也是電腦駭客的Mallory，在被身為警探的路易斯收養，以為總算能從都市叢林獲得救贖，然而幸福的生活只持續幾年，在養父被兇殘謀殺之後，與紐約警局格格不入的Mallory卻成為他們的ㄧ員，試圖找出謀殺養父的兇手。從此她得正面面對這個險惡的都市叢林!!
在緊湊的解謎節奏之外，Carol O’Conell所創作的主角們都是極為聰明，常有許多出乎意料的作為。包括主角Mallory、兇手、警長、她的搭檔Charles等。不僅Mallory與這個社會化的世界格格不入，書中還常有人物是許多擁有優勢卻有著小小缺陷的，如IQ187的富翁卻煩惱著如何將食物弄出罐子、剛繼承一大筆財產的小女孩卻要向人乞討搭乘地鐵的費用等。也許就是這些小小的人物缺陷讓人不禁為這個系列著迷，不再僅是單純的推理小說。
