nasty penchant for preteen girls, Mitchell realises that his target was part of
a bigger, more dangerous group of cyber criminals than he imagined. Links

dangerous hackers. With national security threatened, lives at stake, and
Mitchell’s undercover alias jeopardised, the race is on to stop the hackers
before it’s too late.

Cotton FBI
Episode 11 – Death on Order
Peter Mennigen
Out now
When Peter Warren opened
the door to a pizza delivery man standing on his porch, he thought that it was
a mix-up; he hadn't ordered a pizza that evening. Then, instead of a pizza, the
man pulled a taser out of the insulated transport box. The last things Warren
saw were drill bits, needles, and surgical instruments. Over a period of few
months, several people have fallen victim to a sadistic crime – not killed
immediately, but fallen into comas due to brain injuries and dying later on.
The victims had nothing in common, except for one thing: they were all organ
donors, and the last two victims had rare genetic profiles. A false set of
documents is prepared for Cotton, making him look like the perfect organ donor.
They insert it into the national databank of the country’s healthcare system.
At the home address listed, Cotton awaits the killer…
