Overview[]

This was Eade's seventh novel, and the fifth in his Brent Marks series of legal thrillers. The story takes place largely in Los Angeles, California.

Plot summary[]

In Killer.com, a group of anonymous cyber stalkers post defamatory matter about lawyer Brent Marks on the Internet. After he sues them for libel, his case is dismissed as a strategic lawsuit against public participation. When a killer-for-hire shows up on the scene, Marks finds himself accused of murder.[3]

Inspiration[]

Eade was inspired to write a fictional story which exposes the issue of cyber bullying and how the Internet is used anonymously to hurt others.[1]

Reception[]

Midwest Book Review said, "Those who enjoy Grisham and other legal studies and who appreciate more than a dose of reality in their fiction reads will find Killer.com to be one of Eade's most powerful works yet, providing a scenario firmly grounded in real possibilities and powerfully enhanced by a questionable, surprise outcome in an exquisitely well-done, complex thriller!"
