Dark Mode

Reagan Carsen keeps her life deliberately offline. She has no smartphone, no social media, and a good reason for her caution that she keeps to herself. She runs a small plant shop in Sydney and wants only to be left alone — until she discovers a woman's mutilated body staged in the alley behind her store, arranged in a way that echoes the notorious Black Dahlia murder.

As more bodies appear and the police treat Reagan herself with suspicion, she's forced back into the digital world she fled, hunting a killer whose trail runs through the darkest corners of the internet — incel forums, doxxing rings, and the machinery of online hate.

Ashley Kalagian Blunt's twisty psychological thriller is a claustrophobic, of-the-moment story about privacy, surveillance, and the price of living in a world where nothing can truly be deleted.
