Jack McEvoy thought he was investigating just another brutal murder. The veteran journalist had covered killers before, but this case hits close to home. A woman he spent one night with has been found dead, killed in ways that suggest something more sinister than a random crime. McEvoy digs deeper despite warnings from police and his editor. His investigation reveals connections between this murder and other mysterious deaths nationwide. The pattern becomes clear: a serial killer has been operating undetected for years, using victims' own personal data to select and stalk targets. Then McEvoy himself becomes a suspect. Racing to clear his name while continuing his investigation, he realizes he faces a predator who hunts from the shadows of the digital age. The killer exploits the very information people willingly share, turning their openness into vulnerability. McEvoy must expose this invisible threat before it claims more lives, including possibly his own.
