Dead Drop: A Crowdfunded Murder Thriller

By Fiona Briarwood

They thought the blockchain made them invisible.
They were wrong.

When FBI forensic accountant Isabel Reyes stumbles across a strange pattern in cryptocurrency transactions, she assumes it's another laundering scheme.

Small payments. Thousands of wallets. One address.

Then the money disappears.

Two days later, someone dies.

At first, it looks like coincidence.
Then it happens again.
And again.

As Isabel digs deeper, she uncovers something far more terrifying than financial crime, a hidden network where strangers pool money to decide who lives and who dies. A marketplace built on anonymity. A system designed to look like justice.

Detective Marcus Wade has spent his career chasing killers who vanish without a trace. But when his latest homicide aligns perfectly with Isabel's data, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance.

Because this isn't just one murder.

It's dozens.

And someone is still taking requests.

As Isabel and Wade race to uncover the platform behind the killings, the line between victim and target begins to blur, and Isabel realizes the truth may be closer to home than she ever imagined.

In a world where everyone has a vote, how much is a life worth?
