Part of Lucas Davenport
First published 2025
Twenty years after Doris Grandfelt was stabbed to death and dumped in a Minneapolis park, her twin sister Lara faces her own mortality from breast cancer. Desperate for answers before she dies, Lara posts the entire case file online and offers five million dollars for information about the killer. True crime bloggers swarm the cold case, hunting for clicks and clues. Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers must sort through the digital chaos when one blogger discovers the murder weapon. The detectives start piecing together the killer's identity, but their investigation turns dangerous. The murderer watches every development online and stays ahead of the investigation. As bloggers broadcast each new discovery across the internet, the killer prepares to bury anyone who gets too close to the truth. Davenport and Flowers race against a murderer who hides in plain sight.
