Jane Sharp needed something to pull her from grief after her father died. She found it in true crime forums, where amateur detectives taught her to track killers online. When three college women are murdered in Delphine, Idaho, Jane and her fellow sleuths race other internet investigators to solve the case first. But the evidence doesn't match the media frenzy. Police dodge questions. Details contradict each other. As Jane digs deeper, she realizes this killer operates differently than any they've studied. The closer her team gets to answers, the more they feel like prey walking into a carefully laid snare. Now, one year after the case ended and shocked the world, Jane finally speaks. Her account of what really happened in Delphine will upend everything people think they know about the murders.
