Dark Corners

Though detectives have long suspected Terence Bailey of killing six people, he is about to be freed from jail for breaking and entering. Bailey receives an unexpected visit from Maddison Logan, a stunning young influencer with a sizable social media following, as his liberation draws near. Madison vanishes a few hours later, and authorities believe she may have been abducted or worse. Is Maddison's visit to Bailey related to her disappearance? What was the purpose of her first visit to him?

Reluctantly, the FBI begs Rachel to assist them in locating the missing influencer when they reach a dead end in their inquiry. Madison seems to be a one-woman show on social media; she doesn't have any friends or relatives, and most people have only ever seen her in her postings. So who exactly is she? Rachel Krall travels undercover to BuzzCon, a well-known influencer convention, using a fictitious Instagram account. There, she finds a world of intense competition that may have turned deadly.

The FBI is forced to entertain a terrifying theory when they discover the corpse of a woman with a tattoo depicting a snake swallowing its tail: Bailey may have an outside collaborator and a deadly fixation with influencers, including Rachel Krell. Rachel is forced to face the very real risks that lie in the shadowy corners of the internet when she finds herself suddenly the target of a monster hidden in plain sight.

The star of Megan Goldin's critically hit True Crime podcast, Rachel Krall, comes back to look for a well-known social media influencer who vanished after seeing a possible serial murderer.
