I just finished "Off the Chart"...well done.
It's about modern day pirates..and how they track the tankers and freighters, get into their on board computers and track them to locations prime for boarding.

I knew pirating was going on, but I didn't realize the scale.
My neighbor gave me the book and I'm glad she did.
I usually stick with authors I've read and enjoyed, so this was a nice change.
