A killer is walking the streets of the Monterey peninsula. He leaves roadside crosses, not after his kill but as a warning before he strikes. As Kathryn Dance and her team begin to investigate the prime suspect is identified as a disturbed teenager who has been under attack by a major blog and its followers. The boy can not be found and as Kathryn and her team dig deeper into the game playing boy and his avatar another picture begins to emerge. First the victims were people who attacked the boy and soon they are anyone who posted. The blog owner refuses to pull the blog and before long politicians get involved putting pressure on the investigators. As Dance tries to solve the case her mother is arrested and charged with a mercy killing that occurred in the previous book THE SLEEPING DOLL. There are some shocking twists and turns before the killer is caught. This is a first rate story about blogs and the world of gamers that is very disturbing. Highly recommended.
