Once you’re online, there’s nowhere to hide. Is it paranoia – or is someone watching? 
 
For years, Reagan Carsen has kept her life offline. No socials. No internet presence. No photos. Safe.  
Until the day she stumbles on a shocking murder in a Sydney laneway. The victim looks just like her.  
Coincidence?  
 
As more murders shake the city and she’s increasingly drawn out from hiding, Reagan is forced to confront her greatest fear. 
 
She’s been found.  
 
A riveting psychological thriller drawn from true events, Dark Mode delves into the terrifying reality of the dark web, and the price we pay for surrendering our privacy one click at a time.
