And this was just the table of contents. Amelia Sachs’s dossier itself was close to five hundred pages long.

Rhyme scrolled through the list and clicked on various topics. The entries were dense as wood. He whispered, “SSD has this information? On everyone in America?”

“No,” Whitcomb said. “For children under five there’s very little, obviously. And with many adults, there’re a lot of gaps. But SSD does the best they can. They’re improving it every day.”

Improving
? Rhyme wondered.

Pulaski nodded at the sales brochure Mel Cooper had downloaded. “Four hundred million people?”

“That’s right. And growing.”

“And it’s updated hourly?” Rhyme asked.

“Often in real time.”

“So your government agency, Whitcomb, this Compliance Division… it isn’t about
guarding
the data; you’re
using
it, right? To find terrorists?”

Whitcomb paused. But since he’d already sent the dossier to somebody who didn’t have an A-18

clearance, whatever the hell that was, he must have figured that sharing a bit more wasn’t going to make the consequences any worse. “That’s right. And it’s not just terrorists. It’s other criminals too. SSD uses predictive software to figure out who’s going to commit crimes and when and how. A lot of the tips that go to police officials and intelligence departments come from what look like anonymous concerned citizens. They’re actually avatars. Fictions. Created by Watchtower and innerCircle. Sometimes they even collect the rewards, which are then sent back to the government to be used again.”

It was Mel Cooper who asked, “But if you’re a government agency, why are you giving the job to a private company? Why not do it yourself?”

“We
have
to use a private company. The Defense Department tried to do something like this themselves after nine-eleven: the Total Information Awareness program. It was run by former National Security Advisor John Poindexter and an executive from SAIC. But it got closed down—violations of the Privacy Act. And the public thought it was too Big Brother. But SSD isn’t subject to the same legal restrictions that the government is.”

Whitcomb gave a cynical laugh. “Also, with all respect to my employer, Washington wasn’t very
Page 289

talented. SSD is. The two main words in Andrew Sterling’s vocabulary are ‘knowledge’ and ‘efficiency.’

And nobody combines those better than him.”

“It’s not illegal?” Mel Cooper asked.

“We’re in some gray areas,” Whitcomb conceded.

“Well, can it help us? That’s all I want to know.”

“Maybe.”

“How?”

Whitcomb explained, “We’ll run Detective Sachs’s geographic-positioning profile for today. I’ll take over the keyboarding.” He began to type. “You’ll see what I do on your screen in the box at the bottom.”

“How long will that take?”

A laugh, muted thanks to the broken nose. “Not very long. It’s pretty speedy.”

He hadn’t finished speaking before text filled the screen.
