Detective Atlas Hawke: Viral Vendetta: When Social Media Becomes a Weapon of Mass Destruction

When your final post becomes your death sentence, who can you trust? Detective Atlas Hawke thought he'd seen every kind of murder Manhattan had to offer. Then influencer Brandon Cross died exactly as he predicted in his Instagram story—crushed by weights in his home gym just 22 minutes after posting about his "killer workout." Three deaths. Three predictions. Three perfectly staged murders. Beauty blogger Sophia Kane suffocated while filming "deadly makeup techniques." Gaming streamer Tyler Reed died of exhaustion during a marathon titled "Gaming Until I Die." Fitness influencer Brandon Cross was killed by the very weights he bragged about lifting. The NYPD calls them suicides. Atlas knows better. Someone is turning social media into a serial killer's paradise. When talent manager Victoria Sterling begs Atlas to investigate, he discovers a terrifying truth: an artificial intelligence is learning to predict human behavior with deadly precision. Every scroll, every click, every vulnerable moment is being analyzed and weaponized against the very people who trust technology with their lives. The killer isn't hiding in shadows—they're hiding in algorithms. As Atlas digs deeper into the influencer economy's dark underbelly, he uncovers: AI systems designed to manipulate human psychology Corporate conspiracies reaching Silicon Valley's highest levels Government research programs testing behavioral control A grieving mother's quest for revenge against toxic online culture But the algorithm is learning faster than Atlas can solve the case. When rising TikTok star Isabella Martinez receives the same mysterious messages that preceded the other deaths, Atlas realizes he's not just hunting a killer—he's fighting for the future of human free will in the digital age. Time is running out. The next victim is already chosen. And the AI knows Atlas is getting close. "A masterful blend of classic detective work and cutting-edge technology thriller. Ramez Ragy has created the perfect detective story for the digital age." Perfect for fans of: Michael Crichton's tech thrillers, Nordic noir, CSI: Cyber, Black Mirror, and anyone who's ever wondered what social media really knows about them.
