ASIN B008DP2B56 moved to the most recent edition Murder most viral! In 1994, when Mark Zuckerberg was ten and this book was first published, the Internet was the fresh new face in town—who knew how dangerous it could be? Twenty-year-old Geoff Kavanagh should never have posted about seeing his father murdered…because way too many people on the TOWN, a sort of Facebook-of-the nineties, knew things about his family he didn’t even suspect. Decades-old skeletons start falling out of closets after Geoff’s untimely death, thanks to New Orleans Detective Skip Langdon. Langdon finds Geoff’s gorgeous mom suspiciously uninterested in her son’s fatal fall. But Mom’s apparently the only one. It seems the post has gone viral. Suddenly all the TOWNSpeople have theories—and ambition as cyber-detectives. What’s a murderer to do but kill his way out? Formerly titled "New Orleans Beat."
