The Card Collector - Paperback

by Gc Lam (Author)

After years of abuse in a state boy's home, followed by confinement in an asylum for the criminally insane, Herman is finally free. Armed with an inheritance and an education in cryptocurrency, he's ready for a fresh start. Upon discovering the Deep Dark Web and their live-streamed shows of torture, rape, and murder, an urge to move beyond mere voyeurism to play an active role confronts Herman.

While exploring this new online marketplace of violence, his past and present collide as he recognizes some of the victims being filmed, and tries to intercede on their behalf.

When a young girl goes missing, rule-defying hard-nosed detective Bob Sharot receives the case, and it becomes a race against time to find her before it's too late. Desperate characters hiding behind online pseudonyms play a game of cat and mouse, as innocent people caught up in the wake pay the ultimate price.
