Unfollow Me: A Terrifying True Story of a Sadistic Stalker (The Unfollow Me Duet Book 1)

What if the man stalking you worked in IT — at the police department?

Think it couldn't happen to you? Think again. Read. This. Book.” —John DeDakis, Award-winning novelist, writing coach, and former editor on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer

This true crime case is told with brutal honesty, exposing the silent terror of stalking. Gripping details of kidnapping, intimate partner abuse, and surveillance using everyday tools engrained in society—and most households—uncovers systemic blindspots. From overlooked police reports to exhausting court battles, it’s a story of a woman’s resilience in the face of relentless fear. A must read for fans of true crime, survival stories, and psychological thrillers.

Stalkers don’t just hide in the shadows. Some log in. Kathryn meets Todd, a charming IT expert for the police department. He coaxes her into a brief relationship and turns a normal breakup into a reign of terror. Todd isn’t just obsessed—he’s inside Kathryn’s home network.

He doesn’t have to be in her house to watch her. Or hear her.

He sees her text messages—on his screen.

He can follow her car without ever leaving his house.

And he even tells her why: “You are mine. And I don’t share.”

When Todd asks Kathryn if she wants to see death coming, she tells him no. Now she waits for it every day. Dismissed by officers, Kathryn builds a case police can no longer ignore. But the more she learns about Todd’s past, the more she suspects he might be tied to the unsolved murder of a woman she has only one thing in common with: Todd.

And if she’s right, she might be next . . .
