A gritty serial killer thriller set in Portland, Oregon, pits a detective fighting to keep her badge against a murderer staging influencers’ deaths as accidents.
Someone is silencing the people everyone follows.
Cleared in a fatal police shooting, Detective Liana “Max” Maxwell is back on duty, but the death threats haven’t stopped. Under orders to keep a low profile, she’s assigned the case of a missing influencer.
Then his body is found at the base of Multnomah Falls.
Poison in his system and a hand positioned over his mouth suggest murder. A monkey stamped on his wrist connects him to a young woman whose death was dismissed as a hit-and-run.
Working with FBI Special Agent Grayson Dunn, Max investigates a killer silencing social media stars and disguising their murders as accidents. Her captain wants her off the case, but stepping back could leave more deaths dismissed and a murderer free to continue.
