Murder By Code
(2024)(The first book in the Digital Detective Mystery series)
A novel by P L Matthews
Press Start to Solve
Skye Sanders, tech mage and owner of Digital Sentinel Security, understands machines far better than people. Social cues? A mystery. Small talk? Torture. Thankfully, she has video games—and her wisecracking magpie familiar, Bob—to keep her company.
But when her latest high-profile security job goes sideways, and a body turns up, Skye has to solve the case before her budding reputation goes up in flames. The client—a brooding vampire with a stare that’s way too intense for comfort—wants answers.
Someone tampered with her tech, and that's not just an insult—it's a declaration of war.
Armed with her love of puzzles, a photographic memory, and maybe a little luck, Skye is about to find out if she can pull off a Sherlock Holmes-worthy investigation—or if she’s in over her head. After all, code is predictable. People? Not so much.
★★★
Note: While part of a series, Murder by Code is a standalone adventure — written in Australian English and set in the magic city of Sydney.
If you enjoy books by K M Shea, Heather G. Harris and Kim Harrison, then you’ll love this riveting urban fantasy story with a touch of humour and romance.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
