A Novel by:

Adrian J. Westall

A suspenseful techno-thriller about drones, conspiracy, and one detective racing against time.

Synopsis

A young woman is killed by a drone that drops from the sky, seemingly out of nowhere, and sprays her with a mysterious liquid. Detective Diane Cramer is assigned to lead the murder investigation after her superior, George Hernandez, suddenly collapses after examining the body. The only evidence is a corpse with no identifiable cause of death.

Drones, autonomous machines, initially designed for warfare, now hunt victims at night, seeking victims through their cold lenses, and capturing their last moments in a target reticle.

Once Diane realizes that drones are being used by a serial killer, it becomes a race between the two of them. Can Diane find the drone puppeteer before he kills her? And can love survive amongst this drone peril?
