About the story

During a Halloween photo walk, Tara Linskey’s private image becomes a public spectacle. By morning, she is dead. Detective Bria Friday follows access, passwords, friendships and competing accounts through a case built around sexual privacy and coercion. Mason Maloney should be at its edge; his own unsettled history keeps drawing him closer. The second Memento Mori novel continues the first book’s crime and relationship threads. Its investigation of exploitation and suicide makes this one of the trilogy’s darker volumes.
