Product Description
by Julia Keller (Author)
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Julia Keller continues her Dark Intercept science fiction series with Dark Mind Rising, a thrilling, speculative murder mystery set in a chilling future where citizens believe they're free after years of emotional surveillance only to discover a killer is targeting their deepest fears.
When the state is no longer watching, what will you give to feel safe? New Earth, 2296. Two years after the destruction of a universal surveillance system called the Intercept, New Earth struggles to keep crime under control. The citizens are free, but not protected. Violet Crowley, the eighteen-year-old daughter of New Earth's founder, has opened Crowley & Associates, a private detective agency, to handle the overflow from the overburdened police force. Violet's first case--a death written off as a suicide--becomes an obsession. Soon a series of similar deaths leads Violet to believe the Intercept is not only still running--it's in the hands of a killer. "In this fast-paced book, Julia Keller shows she's at the top of her game--and her game is creating chills and absolute terror." --New York Times bestselling author R.L.
