In "Monkeewrench" (also known as "Want to Play?"), a serial killer uses a popular online game to target victims, drawing the Monkeewrench team into a deadly investigation. "Shoot to Thrill," alternatively titled "Play to Kill," follows the team as they tackle a series of murders linked to a rock concert. "Off the Grid," also known as "Two Evils," sees the team confronting a dangerous militia group. In "The Sixth Idea," published as "Cold Kill," the Monkeewrench crew investigates a chilling case involving cryonics and murder. Each novel intertwines technology and crime, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
