About Paper Targets – Art Can Be Murder
New Noir. Art, math, obsession, and greed. An artist who confesses to murders through her drawings, and a stuttering computer criminal, have their paths collide while both are struggling to make amends for their past failures. Part Montana wilderness, part techno, and part desperate love, Paper Targets is a story of confessions. But more than crime, Paper Targets is infused with nature and solitude and unpacks questions about why people sometimes do bad things. Based on the actual fringe events of two of the world’s largest criminal frauds: the collapse of WorldCom and Enron. Enzi, a drop-out and drifting runaway becomes a criminal computer hacker who then falls in love with Kaori, an artist. When Kaori later confesses through her paintings to a double murder, Enzi starts questioning everything he has ever done. But as Enzi tries to extricate himself from the violent men with whom he has become indebted, he is pressured to keep “pounding code.” While Enzi plans his escape, he is forced to look inside for answers about his motivations.
