Solution to
"Death on the Web"

---

Susan Rossetto-Kelly killed Eric Reid. She had a motive: What programmer wouldn't be enraged to work with another programmer on major new software and then get so blatantly -- and patronizingly -- shut out? He was not only stealing her work, but he had the gall to do it on the Web.

Julie was right about the "killer" software. She had learned about the software from a former fling, a physics genius who had worked on the secret through the surge protector as Julie suspected -- to blow up or at least damage the screen as well as kill the person sitting in front of it. But while the protector killed Eric, his body and sneakers blocked some of the surge.

This left the incriminating e-mail message partially intact. The letters "jrny" and "srk" in the e-mail tipped Marshall off, since they not only spelled out the killer's initial's but referred to the term "journey," which Eric mentioned she always used.
