Detective Atlas Hawke: The Remote Kill Switch: Digital Murders That Will Make You Unplug Forever

Your smart home is watching you. Your devices are learning your routines. And someone with the right skills can turn them all into weapons.

Detective Atlas Hawke thought he'd seen every kind of murder Portland had to offer. Then Jennifer Walsh died during a Zoom call, electrocuted by her own phone charger while her horrified colleagues watched through their screens. No forced entry. No obvious weapon. Just a woman who trusted her technology-and paid for it with her life.

When three more professionals die the same way, all during video calls, all in their own homes, Hawke realizes he's hunting a killer who can murder from anywhere in the world using victims' own smart devices. Every wireless charger becomes a weapon. Every smart speaker becomes surveillance. Every connected device becomes a potential death trap.

Working with cybersecurity expert Emma Martinez and Detective Sarah Kim, Hawke races to understand how someone can weaponize the very technology people trust to make their lives easier. But the deeper they dig, the more horrifying the truth becomes: this isn't just one killer-it's a sophisticated network planning to turn America's entire smart city infrastructure into the largest remote-controlled weapon system ever created.

From compromised charging pads to weaponized thermostats, from hijacked security systems to malicious medical devices, "The Remote Kill Switch" exposes the terrifying vulnerabilities hiding in your connected home. This isn't science fiction-it's a chilling preview of what happens when convenience becomes more important than security.

In a world where everything is connected, everyone is a target.

Based on real smart device vulnerabilities and cutting-edge cybersecurity research, this pulse-pounding thriller will make you look at every device in your home with suspicion. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton's technological thrillers and readers who love their mysteries with a heavy dose of digital paranoia.

Warning: You'll never trust your smart home again.
