Publisher's summary

Snap. Upload. Ruin a reputation.

In this pause-resisting short story from international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver, senior detective Jon Avery inherits a deeply troubling case. At an off-campus party, university professor Rose Taylor is drugged, undressed, and photographed on a burner phone. In seconds her humiliation is uploaded, and millions of JPEGs are zipping like immortal wasps through the internet. But why would someone target her? She has no vengeful exes or rival academics, no stalkers or unhinged students. Jon Avery, the sharpest, most experienced investigator in the sheriff’s office, is determined to find out who’s behind this horrific invasion of privacy. But soon he runs into a wall of silence at Preston College - an academic mecca whose reputation one doesn’t dare tarnish. The message is clear: if he pursues the case, he’ll pay for it.

Another brilliant short!

A female college professor is drugged then nude photos are posted on the internet. Police begin to suspect members of the football team but have no proof. Then and things start happening to the team members…is it karma or someone out for revenge? You’ll be guessing to the end.

Good story

Liked it. Not a lot of blood or gore or weird crime details. Sharply crafted. Pulled together nicely at the end. We’ll narrated.

Worth a listen

Interesting short story with a clever plot resolution, mostly. Hard to not feel badly for the real victim in the story.
