Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime fiction with a modern twist and want to see how old-school detective work clashes with social media culture.
  • You're drawn to mysteries where the detective is operating outside their comfort zone and forced to improvise.
  • You appreciate tight, fast-paced novellas that don't waste time on unnecessary subplot.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a deep romance subplot; this is a straightforward mystery with no significant romantic elements.
  • You prefer cosy mysteries set in small villages; this is set on a college campus in contemporary digital culture.
  • You need multiple POVs and complex plotting; this is a focused, single-perspective investigation.

About this book

Larry Macklin takes on an undercover assignment in the world of social media content creation. A famous content creator named Verde dies in a fall on a North Florida college campus, but hours earlier, a student at the college believes he witnessed the same man being shot. The student, an online influencer himself, cannot persuade local authorities to investigate due to his history of dramatic behavior, so he hires Larry to determine whether Verde was actually murdered. Larry faces significant obstacles in his investigation, lacking access to autopsy reports, crime scene photos, and multi-agency cooperation. As he pursues the truth, he discovers that Verde's death may be connected to a human-trafficking operation. His investigation ultimately places him at the center of a dangerous situation.
