Net Negative

By Jon-Michael Billingslea

Someone is turning moral judgment into murder.

Two powerful reputation consultants are found dead in meticulously staged crime scenes. No frenzy. No spectacle. Just precision-and a message left behind:

NET NEGATIVE

Detective Calder Navarro quickly sees the pattern. The victims made careers out of deciding who deserved to be publicly destroyed.

Now someone is applying that same logic in blood.

When a third death exposes a private decision Calder thought was routine, the case stops being professional. The killer isn't chasing fame or chaos.

He's making a point.
About value.
About consequence.
About who gets written off.

As pressure builds inside and outside the department, Calder is forced to confront a system he's spent his life serving-and the quiet choices that come with it.

Net Negative is a dark crime thriller about power, accountability, and the danger of treating people like numbers.
