'There’s a serial killer on the loose. A killer so clever that Detective Dave Draper’s Special crime Squad has no clues to go on. How does “The Invisible Man” know so much about his victims? How does he choose them and track them down? Jade Draper, teenage computer freak, wants to know. The mounting tally of unsolved murder victims is wrecking her family life. No one is safe. She has her own theory and she wants to test it. With the help of her two admirers she decides to set a trap – a trap that just might work! But who is really setting the trap and who is really after who?' (Source: Author's website)
