I like The Silent Tower a lot. It's actually one book split in two. The second is The Silicon Mage. The "woman computer programmer" is an artifact of the 80s, when it was published (and a lot of other stuff is also very 80s) but it has really great characters and cool concepts.
I like noir so I really enjoyed that aspect of Wicked Gentlemen, but I also dug the woobieness of Bellamai. I'm a huge sucker for cop/criminal and upright member of corrupt society/outlaw pairings. And the worldbuilding was really fascinating. I suppose a lot of that was in how little was told, making it intriguing, but I was dying for more. You may already know this, but Hale has some bonus short stories on her website.
