Manipulation by V.C. Kincade

Detective Morgan Blackburn returns to Homicide under a cloud of scandal, her every move scrutinized by a hostile press and a terrified department. But when autonomous vehicles become weapons of murder-targeting not just victims, but the people in Blackburn's own life-she's forced into a deadly game where the killer holds every advantage.

The investigation twists inward as evidence points to someone with intimate knowledge of her patterns, her secrets, her vulnerabilities. Her fractured team unravels: Detective Sinclair's obsession spirals into catastrophic mistakes, while analyst Willow Adler's technical access makes her a prime suspect. As Blackburn seeks control through her intense BDSM encounters, the line between professional and personal shatters completely when her current lover becomes the next target.

Racing against rogue technology and a mastermind who knows her too well, Blackburn must risk everything to reclaim control-before the system she trusts destroys everyone she touches.
