Perfect Crimes on a Weekly Basis... Webster Tremont never has lived up to family expectations - and never has wanted to. The independent-minded son of prominent billionaire Brandon Tremont, Webb shuns his trust funds to become a cop, but when a series of events ends his career, he becomes a successful writer, chronicling true crime cases. But fame takes an unexpected turn after his popular Serve & Protect books are adapted into a TV series. Six bored young geniuses from the tech world, rolling in millions from the sale of their software company, decide to prove their brilliance on a grander stage, committing mock crimes that parody each week's episode of the prime time show. The anonymous pranksters become instant champions of the American public by leaving high-minded messages and large sums of money at each mock crime scene ... that is, until a line is crossed into serious felonies. Webb and veteran FBI agent C.J. Matthews recognize that the group has been manipulated by a dangerous sociopath who has a vendetta against the Tremont family. In the search for answers, Webb uncovers secrets about his family and learns that wealth and pedigree are no protection against a criminal mastermind. Though he may have thought himself an expert on crime and arrogance, nothing could have prepared Webb for the rollercoaster journey he and everyone close to him is forced to endure in this well-crafted page-turner.
