Emily Stone and Rick Lopez used to work for the police. Now, they work independently catching child killers. Most times, they do all the detective work then alert the proper authorities to make the arrest. The local police department think it's a rumor that there is a phantom detective out there doing their work for them. But then they get an email with the whole crime laid out for them on a child killer, and they become believers.

Eagle Eye is a new interactive spy game that has become really popular. The designer, Derek McGraw, is proud of his game and so is his Uncle Mort, whom used to work with Lopez. When Mort is found dead, the police declare it an accident. But Derek thinks it was a homicide and calls in Rick to investigate.

Mort was working on something that got him killed, and Emily is determined to find out what it was. The deeper Emily and Rick get into the investigation, the higher the stakes raise. They find an alternate internet that is used just for serial killers, and they find a link between Eagle Eye and the victims of a loose serial killer in town. But they will have to get one step ahead of the killers if they hope to solve this crime. The killer has now targeted them as his next victims. They must stop him or its end game.

Jennifer Chase writes a thrilling novel of action, suspense, and a bit of romance. Emily and Rick are wonderful and diverse characters that had me up late turning the pages. She gets into the mind of the killers as well as showing you the flip side of investigation that will have your head spinning and nodding as it all clicks into place. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Chases' work. A thrilling book!
