About this eBook

The tenth novel in the New York Times bestselling Tracers series is a gripping romantic thriller from the author who “never fails to put me on the edge of my seat” (USA TODAY).

The moment detective Reed Novak steps onto the crime scene, he knows the case is going to rock his world. A beautiful young woman murdered at home. No sign of forced entry. No motive. She’s obviously not the killer’s first victim, and Reed’s instincts tell him she won’t be his last. Reed’s first clue comes via a mysterious text that links to a dating profile, but even more intriguing than the clue is the person who sent it.

As a white-hat hacker in the Delphi Center’s cyber investigation unit, Laney Knox sneaks into some of the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet looking for predators. Laney would prefer to stay away from Austin PD’s most recent murder case, but she can’t ignore the chilling similarities between that crime and her own brutal attack years ago. Laney offers to help the sexy lead detective, but he wants more from her than just a promising tip—Reed wants her trust. Laney resists, but as their relationship deepens she’s tempted to reveal the closely guarded secrets that could make her a key witness…or the killer’s next victim.

Let me start by saying that I have every single one of the Tracers series either on my keeper shelf or on my kindle. This series has it all ... great suspense, mystery, romance, spice, lots of forensics, serial killers, FBI, local law enforcement,exceptionally well-written stories. One of these days I'm going to start at the beginning again. Laney Knox is a hacker of the good kind in the Delphi Center's Cyber Investigation Unit. She likes digging into the dark corners of the internet looking for predators. But when a young woman is brutally murdered, she feels a need to get involved. This particular murder is highly reminiscent of when she herself was assaulted a few years ago. Detective Reed Novac can't decide whether Laney is a help or a hindrance. He suspects she knows much more than she's telling ... and he's right. Fifteen years younger than Novac, Laney doesn't need another daddy .. she's strong-willed, smart, and sassy. Novac wants her trust, but she's not one to trust easily. I really enjoy how the characters interact with each other... and not just the main protagonists. It's a well rounded circle of secondary characters and I always have in the back of my mind that I'd like them to have their own stories .. their own books. For anyone who enjoys Romantic Suspense, with an emphasis on suspense, I would highly recommend this series. It's an easy 5 stars for me. Many thanks to the author / Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books / NetGalley who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

When a girl is murdered, Laney Knox, a white-hat hacker in the Delphi Center’s cyber investigation unit, just can't stay away from the case, the attack to close to the one she herself survived years ago. Detective Reed Novak is reluctant to accept Laney's help as she inserts herself into his investigation but finds himself drawn to her even though he fights the attraction. Together they work to find a killer before he strikes again! This series just keeps getting better and Deep Dark to me is a home run! Starting with complex and endearing characters, characters you want to get to know, add a story line that is fast paced and intense and what's not to love? Great job Laura Griffin!
