By day, Harper Cole is a successful commodities trader working from his home in the isolated Mississippi Delta. But at night he is a system operator for EROS, a sexually explicit on-line service that caters for the erotic appetites of an exclusive clientele. But Harper's secret life is about to be shattered when a twisted serial killer uses EROS to select and stalk his female victims. And suddenly he finds himself a prime suspect in the eyes of the FBI. In order to clear his name Harper knows he must lure the real killer into the open, and impersonating a woman online, someone he once loved, he begins to play a very dangerous game with a psychopath. A psychopath that could destroy the very fabric of Harper's world.

While, yes, the technology is dated, this is pretty believable for the period it was written in (for fiction levels of believable). Harper Cole is a successful commodities trader working from home, also working as a SysOp for EROS a electronic sex site. At the cutting edge of the time. He realises that there are women missing from the site, women who haven't cancelled their accounts. When he tells a cop investigating the murders he finds himself as prime suspect, and in trouble with the site. He's now playing with a psychopath who is using the site for his own purposes.

It's an interesting read and kept me interested.
