There’s a murderer on Twitter. Will you follow them? Fast, frenetic and set in London, this is a crime novel for the social media generation.

Graduate Freddie Venton is desperate to get a job in paid journalism. In pursuit of a scoop, she illicitly visits a crime scene where a man’s body lies slumped over his computer. With the police banned from, and unfamiliar with, social media, it's Freddie who realises the victim was trolling a model on the internet. Finding @Apollyon, a twitter account whose profile picture shows the victim’s dead body and the missing murder weapon, Freddie begins to unearth the #Murderer.

Freddie is coerced into acting as the Met's Social Media Expert and, as @Apollyon tweets clues about another victim, the police and Freddie realise there's a serial murderer on Twitter and the digital clock's ticking. The team search for answers in a world where technology's developing faster than new social norms can evolve. The public interact with @Apollyon's tweets and the secretive account trends, becoming a media sensation.

But can Freddie act fast enough to stop a second murder... and a third...?

Fast, frenetic and set in London, this is a crime novel for the social media generation.
