Book Review: The Intrusions

The third in the series featuring Detective Inspector Jack Carrigan and Geneva Miller is a propulsive thriller that captures the technological times we live in, where our every movement online and offline is hoovered and meticulously tracked by corporations and governments, making it impossible for someone to control data about oneself in the digital era. Thus when Madison reports that someone drugged both her and her housemate, Anna Becker, at a nightclub they frequented, and abducted Anna, what starts off as a missing persons inquiry quickly thickens into a gumbo of thrills and chills, as the detective duo follow their own trails to tease out the mystery. In The Intrusions, Steve Sherez crafts a trope-defying revenge thriller with a mounting sense of terror that's riveting and truly unsettling, while also exploring themes of online trolling, law enforcement overreach and persistent surveillance. Best read as a series and in order.
