Gifted troubleshooter John Smith, introduced in the
acclaimed thriller Killfile, must take down a shadowy
figure who has weaponized the internet, using social
media to put a price on the heads of his targets in this
intense, unstoppable thriller from the author reviewers
have compared to Michael Crichton, Brad Thor, and James
Rollins. As a fixer for America’s one percent, John Smith cleans
up the messes of those rich enough to afford him. But
he’s no ordinary gun for hire. Smith is a man of rare
gifts, including the ability to read minds. Arriving at
the wedding of Kira Sadeghi, a reality television
celebrity he recently saved from kidnappers, Smith
witnesses a group of gunmen open fire, hitting the bride
and others. Though he’s unarmed, Smith cripples one of
the killers and is able to pry one word from his mind:
"Downvote." Eager to learn more, Smith hacks into the brain of an FBI
agent investigating the attack to discover the Bureau has
been investigating a nefarious new threat called
"Downvote," an encrypted site on the "dark net" that
lists the names of celebrities and offers a hefty bounty
for anyone who can kill them—unleashing an anonymous and
deadly flashmob with a keystroke. Finding a mastermind on the internet is like trying to
catch air—unless you’re John Smith. Motivated by money
and revenge, he traces a series of electronic signatures
to a reclusive billionaire living at sea, accompanied by
a scary-smart female bodyguard who becomes Smith’s
partner in his quest. The hunt for their prey will lead
from Hong Kong to Reykjavik to a luxury gambling resort
deep in the Laotian jungle. Yet always this criminal
mastermind remains one step ahead. The only way Downvote’s creator can stop Smith is to kill
him . . . because while this diabolical genius can run,
there’s no hiding from a man who can read minds.
