Synopsis

An autistic teenager. A ruthless assassin. An FBI agent who must risk everything to protect an innocent person from a savage.

All three are thrust together when Simon Lynch, a sixteen-year-old savant, unknowingly breaks the newest, most secure code developed by the National Security Agency. Corrupt elements within that government behemoth, determined to protect their creation, send Keiko Kimura, a beautiful and brutal terrorist, after the young man. Only FBI Special Agent Art Jefferson stands between the killer and her prey.

As though they were father and son, the bond between Art and Simon turns out to be as crucial to their survival as Art's decades of experience in the FBI. Together, they must evade their pursuers who track them through cyberspace and dog them at every turn.

The action in Simple Simon never lets up until its final, explosive conclusion.

Goodreads review by Edwin on May 20, 2021

The premise for this book was, in my opinion, very stupid.

So, what if you killed them...will that guarantee that no one else will find......more

Goodreads review by Peter on January 27, 2018

The novel upon which the movie Mercury Rising was based where an autistic youth (older than in the film) cracks an unbreakable US Government code, placed as a test in a puzzle magazine, with consequent mayhem as nefarious Government agents try to kill him and the FBI agent who is protecting him.
