Dark Corners

By author Megan Goldin

True crime podcaster Rachel Krall is back, in search of a popular influencer who disappears after visiting a suspected serial killer.

Being an influencer is like feeding a monster ... nothing is ever enough. No matter how much you give, there's always someone giving more. Eventually you have to give your soul ...

Suspected serial killer Terence Bailey is about to be released from prison when he gets a surprise visit from Maddison Logan, a hot, young influencer with a huge social media following. Hours later, Maddison disappears, and police suspect she's been kidnapped - or worse.

When they hit a wall in the investigation, the FBI reluctantly call in true-crime podcaster Rachel Krall for help in finding the missing influencer. Maddison seems to only exist on social media; she has no family, no friends, and other than in her posts, most people have never seen her. Who is she, really?

Using a fake Instagram account, Rachel goes undercover to BuzzCon, a popular influencer conference, where she discovers a world of fierce rivalry that may have turned lethal.

Racing to find the missing woman before it's too late, Rachel is forced to confront the very real dangers that lurk in the dark corners of the internet. She discovers that some social media influencers have secrets, and some of them can be deadly.

The heart-stopping new thriller from international superstar Megan Goldin. A wickedly entertaining and terrifying look at how dangerous our obsession with social media fame can be.

'A gripping story that is equal parts shocking, unnerving, and thrilling. Goldin takes the 'true crime' trope to new and unexpected territory.' Karin Slaughter
