Mystery Woman Sleuth
Hallie Ahern, a Providence, Rhode Island, reporter and
recovering gambling addict, is trawling online chat rooms
in search of a story for her newspaper’s Web site when an
anonymous source sends her a short video clip, a teaser.
Featuring two girls striking provocative poses, the clip
promises more to come. As Hallie follows up on the lead,
staking out tech shops and high school hangouts in search
of the girls in the clip, she discovers that men are
buying the girls webcams and lavishing them with gifts to
make sure they use them. But those gifts are only a taste
of the perils to come.
The paper’s new owners love
the idea of an exposé that warns parents of the dangers of
the Internet, but when girls start dying, and when
Hallie’s boyfriend—a prosecutor with the Attorney
General’s office—ends up on another side of the story
altogether, the situation goes from dark to
lethal.
As Hallie is caught between her
responsibilities as a reporter and as a concerned citizen,
her investigation leads her deep into a far-reaching
conspiracy in Teaser, Jan Brogan’s latest gripping
mystery.

Re: Teaser
I just finished an ARC of this and it was really great! I have to go back and get the other books now!
