Fatal Terror

Online, no one can hear you scream.

After weeks of unraveling the dark secrets of New York City’s elite modeling agencies, Sky Stryker craves a distraction. A part-time gig at her friend’s PI firm seems like the perfect escape. It’s a low-stakes front desk job that might even spark fresh inspiration for her next best-seller—and save her sanity.

But the city has other plans.

When a distraught mother walks into the office, pleading for help, Sky can’t turn her away. Her fourteen-year-old daughter is dead, and while the police are baffled by what looks like a tragic overdose, the mother is convinced her child was murdered by someone she met online. Her only proof? Disturbing messages she swears were on her daughter’s phone—until they mysteriously vanished.

Knowing the unbearable pain of losing someone too young, Sky wants to bring the grieving mother some closure. She plunges into the digital world, creating a fake profile to track down the girl’s elusive online “friend.” But what starts as a quest for truth soon spirals into something far more dangerous.

When a young girl’s body is pulled from the icy waters of the Hudson River, Sky realizes the predator isn’t just hiding behind a screen—it’s hunting again, concealed in virtual camouflage.

As Sky sets herself up as bait to catch a catfish, she may be the next victim reeled in.

Fatal Terror is the sixth book in the Sky Stryker series by best-selling author Mary Stone. Murder is trending. And you never know who might be lurking behind the screen.
