Despite the illusion Sapphire Dubois presents to the rest of the world, she is not just your stereotypical 22-year old Beverly Hills heiress; she hunts serial killers. While her fellow heirs spend their nights with trending celebs and drugs at the hottest club, Sapphire secretly spends hers luring, capturing, and anonymously handing over So-Cal's most wanted killers to the police - just your average Tuesday night. What Sapphire doesn't know is that one of her adversaries is watching her every move, aware of both her true identity and her unconventional hobby. Needless to say, he doesn't approve. Used to being the one who redefines the definition of predator and prey, Sapphire's world abruptly shatters when a gruesome 'gift' arrives for her at the Beverly Hills Country Club. With her involuntary crush, handsome Detective Aston Ridder, close on her tail, Sapphire now has to rethink her routine strategy and figure out how to capture a killer who already knows she's coming.

Although this is labelled as sci-fi, I wouldn't call it a sci-fi novel. Yes, it is set in the future. Yes, an integral part of the story is technology. However, I have tried to write my story so that anyone would enjoy reading it. The main focous is the characters, and how they interact with each other. So try not to be put off by the sci-fi label, and enjoy! Anyway here is a brief introduction to my story... Our world is ever increasing in connectivity. We can instant message people at the other side of the world. We can have a video chat from England to Australia, from USA to Japan. Wherever we travel, our emails, our phones, our facebook accounts know where we are. Technology is becoming more and more convenient. Sometime in our future comes a point where the technology of the world is so connected, so intergrated, the mundane tasks of day to day life will be completed for us. Our road, rail, and air networks will be controlled by Artificial Intelligence. Our Home Computers will know when the carpet needs vacuuming. Our Cars will safely take us places without us driving.When the World Technology System has replaced all the useful things that humans do, humans will no longer be needed. Machines rise up and attempt to rid the earth of the ineffecient and wasteful humans only to be thwarted by their creators, but destroying the Earth in the process. The grand cities that were built have been deserted. Organised humanity has broken down into small clans. It is in one of these clans, Tanika, that our heroine resides. Only a teenager, the fate of mankind rests on her shoulders. Can she get past her own fears and trials? Can she save the planet without losing herself? Can she co-operate with an AI, the very type of machine that destroyed her home? Only time will tell...
