The Phantom Circuit

In the rain-slicked streets of Millbrook, a series of bizarre deaths baffle authorities—a banker drowns in his own pool, a lawyer is electrocuted in the shower. Inspector Alaric Thorne uncovers a chilling truth: the killings are remote executions, orchestrated through the city's power grid and water supply. As he descends into the anonymous underworld of the digital veil, he confronts a ghostly figure known only as Cipher, a man whose life was destroyed by a credit reporting error. In this Martha Grimes-inspired mystery, the line between victim and executioner blurs, and the deadliest weapon is a keyboard.
