Synopsis
Rachel Krall, the true-crime podcaster from The Night Swim, is drawn into a new case when a young social-media influencer vanishes shortly after visiting a convicted felon long suspected in a string of unsolved murders. Working undercover at an influencer conference, Rachel starts to uncover a competitive, image-obsessed world where not everyone is who they present themselves to be online.
As the investigation widens, the links between the missing woman and the imprisoned man grow harder to explain away as coincidence, and Rachel finds the case pulling uncomfortably close to her own life.
The second Rachel Krall novel keeps the podcast-driven, true-crime framing of the series while shifting its lens to internet fame and the gap between a curated online persona and the person behind it.
