Silent Grid, Silent Kill

In 1995, the execution of Zhao Ruilong, the mastermind behind the shocking Huaqing illegal fundraising scandal, closed one bloody chapter. But in the darkness of cyberspace, a betrayed hacker codenamed "Zero" opens another. Years later, as corruption survivors are found dead in bathtubs, flaming cars, and sinking yachts, the city of Huaqing faces a new terror: a killer who murders through power grids and water systems. Rookie cyber-cop Ye Min must track a ghost who leaves no physical trace, only to discover that everyone behind a screen has the courage for malice, and the next executioner might be closer than she thinks. This is a crime thriller where the weapon is a keyboard, the crime scene is the entire city, and justice is nothing but a fatal glitch.
