Mortal Fear by Greg Iles – Mystery novel.
Contents:
Harper Cole has a day job, like most others in his Mississippi town, trading commodities out of his farmhouse on the isolated Delta. But at night, his occupation drastically changes, as Harper becomes systems operator for Eros, a highly exclusive, sexually explicit online service whose clients range from the Hollywood jet set to the New York literati, and all the incognito eroticists in between. Shielded by a guarantee of absolute anonymity, these clients pour their secrets into a digital confession box, accessible only by the top brass of Eros operators like Harper Cole.
But when six female participants mysteriously "log off" -- disappear from the network altogether -- and a famous New Orleans author and Eros client is horribly murdered in her home, Harper Cole is faced with a policy-breaching decision. He breaks the sacred code of silence, notifies the police, and suddenly finds himself the FBI's prime suspect for murder. He must place everything he holds dear in the killer's path in hopes of clearing his own name and ending the vicious cycle of cyber-spawned slayings. With the advent of Internet anonymity, this virtual Southern thriller stirs a very real uneasiness.

Thoughts: Greg Iles has created a plot with the potential to sizzle off the page - sex, brutality, blood and guts, computer technology, cat and mouse games with an insanely brilliant and devious killer - but, sadly, "Mortal Fear" is actually an overly long, under-edited series of sadly missed opportunities.
"Mortal Fear" could have delved into the sociological ramifications of on-line sex as a form of infidelity. It didn't. "Mortal Fear" could have dug deeply into the legal issues of "right to privacy". It didn't. "Mortal Fear" could have discussed the psychological impact of incest on its participants and victims. It didn't.
