In the decaying heart of Gary, Indiana—a city riddled with abandoned buildings and forgotten dreams—a predator named Darren Deon Vann hunted women the world deemed disposable. Convicted rapist and ex-Marine, Vann strangled his victims and discarded their bodies in the ruins, exploiting a system that failed to protect the vulnerable. But four years before his killing spree claimed its final life, a former journalist named Thomas Hargrove uncovered the chilling truth: an algorithm he designed, fed with decades of FBI homicide data, flagged a cluster of unsolved strangulations in Northwest Indiana. It screamed serial killer. He warned the police. No one listened.
The Algorithm Killers is a riveting true-crime narrative that exposes the deadly intersection of murder, big data, and institutional neglect. Through harrowing reconstructions based on court records, police reports, and survivor testimonies, author R.M. Cochran brings to life the stories of seven daughters—Afrikka Hardy, Teaira Batey, Anith Jones, Kristine Williams, Tracey Martin, Sonya Billingsley, and Tanya Gatlin—who deserved better from a society that turned a blind eye. From Afrikka's final, unanswered FaceTime call to her mother, to Hargrove's desperate pleas ignored amid bureaucratic silence, this book unravels how technology could have saved lives... if only someone had paid attention.
Discover why readers are calling it essential:
- ✓ Gripping suspense: Pulse-pounding reconstructions of the Gary Indiana murders and the algorithm's "silent scream."
- ✓ Sharp social commentary: Exposes racial biases, law enforcement failures, and the human cost of unsolved crimes.
- ✓ For fans of...: I'll Be Gone in the Dark and The Five—a wake-up call about ghosts in the machine.
Blending true-crime chills with data-driven insight, The Algorithm Killers demands justice for the forgotten. Perfect for anyone gripped by serial killers, forensic innovation, and stories of resilience.
Reader discretion advised: Contains discussions of violence, sexual assault, and murder.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
