About this item

A.I. meets murderous intent in this high-stakes romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham. This state-of-the-art smart home has everything: a next-generation entertainment system, an ultramodern kitchen where every appliance is online and even a personal AI to control it all. Now it’s also a crime scene, complete with a dead body. Standing above its owner's lifeless corpse, FBI agent Jude Mackenzie is faced with the daunting task of discovering if and how the woman was killed by her own home. The machine and its AI aren’t sentient…but how do you identify a murderer that doesn’t leave any fingerprints? Enter Special Agent Victoria Tennant, whose familiarity with cybercrime reveals the stark truth: a machine can only do what it's been directed to. Their culprit is using cybertechnology to kill without even entering the crime scene. As the number of grisly "accidents" in smart homes begins to rise, the pair must race to uncover the perpetrator even as they find themselves caught in their digital crosshairs! There's nowhere to hide when danger may be as close as the very phones in their pockets.
