"A campaign worker and a local reporter are targeted by an online hate group after a gender-fueled shooting"-- - Baker & Taylor
After being injured during a mass shooting, reporter Casey Cheng discovers a connection between an online hate group and other killers they have inspired and works with campaign worker Sarah Price, as Sarah's boss, a congressman, may be the next target. - Llewellyn Worldwide
Sarah Price wants a career in politics. But she has a secret past that won't stay past, threatening her job on a San Diego congressman's reelection campaign.
Casey Cheng wants a story. An ambitious local television reporter, Casey needs to get her career back on track after being seriously injured in a mass shooting. When she investigates the man who nearly killed her, she finds a connection to a group of online harassers called #TrueMenâand realizes her shooter may not be the only killer they have inspired.
Casey's investigation and Sarah's secret put them both in the crosshairs of a hate group that targets anyone they've deemed to be against their cause, including Sarah's boss, the congressman. Now Sarah and Casey have a choice to makeâdo they hide? Or do they fight back?
