Mystery Private Eye
Caroline Stockwell has a secret: she and her best friend
Monica are "cam girls." Soliciting cash donations and gifts via Amazon.com wish
lists from
anonymous admirers, the young women have put up a web site
featuring
still photographs, video and web diaries (aka blogs) to
help pay their
way through art college. But when Caroline goes missing
and her mother
Ellen engages jazz bass-playing PI August Riordan to find
her, Riordan
discovers her secret and it appears to everyone that
someone she met
through the web site is responsible for her disappearance. Set against the real-world backdrop of Internet predators
using social
networking sites like MySpace.com to find and ensnare
their victims,
Candy from Strangers is the first novel to explore the
phenomenon of
teenagers and young adults displaying themselves online in
exchange
for material favors—often without their parents' knowledge—
which some
are calling the newest form of prostitution.
