Freddie Venton and Nasreen Cudmore mystery, A
Originally published in Great Britain by Avon, HarperCollins UK in 2015.
Includes author interview (pages 327-329).
"Recent graduate Freddie Venton is desperate to get her journalism career started. She cultivates contacts online, writes for free for digital publications, and earns minimum wage as a barista. She's been taught to "seize the story," and she takes a reckless chance when a face from her past leads to a juicy scoop. Freddie hasn't seen her old friend Nasreen Cudmore in years. But when she learns Nasreen is a police officer after a chance encounter outside her coffee shop, Freddie makes a snap decision to follow her when Nasreen gets an urgent callout. Impersonating a forensics officer, Freddie visits Nasreen's crime scene, where a man's body lies slumped over his computer. With the police banned from, and unfamiliar with, social media, it's Freddie who realizes the victim was a troll and finds @Apollyon: a twitter account whose profile picture shows the dead body and the missing murder weapon. The "Hashtag Murderer" posts cryptic clues online, pointing to the next target--taunting the police and enthralling the press and the public. When @Apollyon follows her, Freddie's afraid she might be next. Time is running out as she and Nasreen face a desperate struggle to catch this cunning, fame-crazed killer--and to escape their past demons"--Dust jacket front flap.
