John Hartway, paroled after ten years for war protest crimes, stumbles upon the tail end of a murder. Dismissing it as an isolated incident, he meets a mental patient who resembles the man Hartway saw murdered. A drive-by attempt on the second man’s life leads Hartway to a lethal blond, a powerful rival, a deadly prison cult, and more murders. All the evidence points to the psychiatric institute run by his father, but Hartway must overcome fraud, corruption, deceit, and the demons of his past to clear his father’s reputation and bring the culprits to justice.

Subhead: Web security expert Benjamin Hackwell hunts for his missing daughter whose murder he witnessed on the Internet.
Publisher’s Price: $18.95
From the back cover: Internet security expert, Benjamin Hackwell, has put his life back together when he receives e-mail from his daughter, Caitline. Eager for any communication from her, Ben watches in horror as Caitline stars in her own snuff flick. Determined to learn if what he has seen is real, Ben discovers all of Caitline’s bank accounts are closed, her phone is disconnected, and her whereabouts unknown.
Ben’s investigation plunges him into the underworld of the dark Web where data is hidden. The electronic information that identifies and furthers man’s noblest ambitions also can promote identity theft, virtual prostitution, and murder by remote control. The metadata that surrounds that information and makes activities such as text messaging and online banking possible can be manipulated to deceive, enslave, and destroy as well.
Metadata Murders is a saga of man’s definition of what it means to be human. Beyond his programming skill or knowledge of the Internet, Ben’s quest challenges the truth of human commitment. It tests whether man’s love for others can triumph over the basest aspects of our existence and bring true knowledge to light.
