Dark Corners

Dark Corners by Megan Goldin presents the thrilling return of true crime podcaster Rachel Krall, this time on the trail of a popular influencer who vanishes after visiting a suspected serial killer.

Being an influencer is like feeding a monster... nothing is ever enough. No matter how much you give, there's always someone giving more. Eventually, you have to give your soul...

Suspected serial killer Terence Bailey is on the verge of his release from prison when he unexpectedly meets Maddison Logan, a young influencer with a massive social media following. Mere hours later, Maddison disappears, sparking fears of kidnapping—or worse.

As the investigation hits a dead end, the FBI turns to Rachel Krall for assistance in locating the missing influencer. Maddison appears to exist solely on social media, with no family, no friends, and few people having seen her beyond her posts. Who is she, really?

Assuming a fake Instagram identity, Rachel infiltrates BuzzCon, a popular influencer conference, and uncovers a world of fierce competition that may have turned lethal. Racing against time to find Maddison, Rachel confronts the ominous threats lurking in the dark corners of the internet. She learns that some social media influencers harbour dangerous secrets.

This heart-stopping thriller offers a wickedly entertaining and chilling exploration of the perils inherent in our obsession with social media fame.
