But when the young daughter of a prominent Seattle doctor is the victim of a ring of child pornographers operating in the dark web, Sophia finds herself hunting criminals in a virtual world, as well as uncomfortably close to home. The race is on to catch the predators before they vanish into cyberspace. And why has her ex-husband appeared after a two-year absence with information about the case that leads Sophia to believe he's somehow involved? Forces are conspiring to keep Sophia and her partner Tommy Stinson from breaking up the insidious criminal enterprise while leaving a few dead bodies in their wake. And no one is free from suspicion. Set in Seattle, Dead Drop is book one in the series The Girl's Guide to Homicide.
