Signal Be With You (Core Of Keys)

You cannot hunt thought.

The signal is spreading through Virelia. Ordinary people wear black receivers behind their ears and whisper a greeting that isn't theirs: Signal be with you. Somewhere behind a thousand borrowed faces, the bearer of the Thought Key is wiring the city's fear into a nervous system, and turning crowds into weapons.

Rip Calder is still searching for Lora. But the enemy he's hunting has no body to fight, and every mind he frees just gives the Thought Key another place to hide.

Worse, he's not the only hunter. A man who murdered his own son for a Key now walks Virelia with seven empty pouches at his hip, and he will burn the whole city to fill them.

Signal Be With You is the second book in the Core of Keys series, a dark cyberpunk thriller for fans of Neuromancer, Control, and Arcane.
