Like, Follow, Die

Ben is an ordinary teenager in Sydney's eastern suburbs — dating his first girlfriend, hunting for an after-school job, trying to keep his head down. But as his luck sours and his sense of grievance grows, he's pulled deeper into the shadowy corners of the internet, where anonymous voices offer him belonging, certainty, and someone to blame.

Now his mother, Corinne, has the chance to explain, at last, how her sweet-natured child grew up to do the unthinkable — while Detective Kyle, wrestling with his own crises at home and at work, finds his sympathy for Corinne pulling against his duty, and has to decide how far he'll go in the name of justice.

Ashley Kalagian Blunt's provocative psychological thriller dives into online radicalization and the fierce, complicated bonds between parents and children, asking who is responsible when a child is lost by degrees.
