Perfect for you if...

You want a thriller that feels urgent and timely, grounded in how social media spreads panic faster than facts during a crisis.
You've read the Jonathan Stride series and want to rejoin a character you trust navigating an impossible case.
You enjoy procedural crime fiction where multiple detectives work together, each bringing different skills to a high-stakes investigation.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer mysteries where the culprit is hidden until the final reveal, rather than thrillers focused on the chase and the obstacles in the way.
You're sensitive to detailed descriptions of bomb aftermath and mass casualty scenes.
You want a standalone novel; this is book eight in a series, and you'll get more from knowing Stride, Serena, and Maggie already.

About this book

Detective Jonathan Stride investigates a bombing at Duluth's annual marathon. On a rainy June morning, an explosion occurs along the race course, killing and injuring many spectators. Stride, Serena Dial, and Maggie Bei work with the FBI to identify those responsible. As social media spreads rumors and misinformation, one young man becomes the focus of a citywide manhunt. Stride and his team must uncover the truth behind the bombing before more people are killed, while grappling with whether the answers are more complicated than they initially appear.
