Mirror of Malice

In a tranquil gated community on the outskirts of a mid-Atlantic city, the brutal murder of a beloved family during a summer barbecue shatters the illusion of suburban peace. Through the lens of an anonymous neighborhood watchdog app, the story unravels how digital voyeurism and algorithmic envy transformed petty grievances into a viral contagion of hatred. Told in fractured testimonies, chat logs, and court transcripts, this novel probes the terrifying intimacy of online exposure—where every private flaw becomes public spectacle, and every whispered suspicion multiplies into a killing force.
