Read Excerpt
Danielle Sanclair is a young, vibrant editor at one of the largest newspaper conglomerates in New York City. Doing whatever it takes to realize her dream of becoming an investigative journalist, "Dani" finds no shame in clandestine affairs or sordid acts that lead to blackmail and extortion.
Enticed by her boss, Mr. Stryker, Dani agrees to an afternoon liaison with him in exchange for a guaranteed promotion to journalist; however, her dream is shattered when she is informed that she did not get the promotion.
Feeling angry and despondent, Dani leaves the office and spends a drunken afternoon at her boyfriend's upscale apartment; and there, she discovers that her boyfriend, Chase, is also having an affair. When a mysterious woman enters the apartment, a murder and a cover-up forever change Dani's path.
Fleeing from her relationship with Chase, Dani relies on her flair for blackmail to realize her dreams and fund her way across the country to Seattle, where she is approached by a serial killer via email.
Dante, the killer, informs Dani that he wants her to write his story: a story that is presented eventually as Dante's Blog and amasses an unusually large following. Surrounded by fear, but a burning desire to meet Dante, Dani finds herself engulfed in a scandal: one that places her at risk of becoming Dante's next victim.
