Techno-thriller Screenshot takes the power of the Web to deadly heights!

A multi-millionaire entrepreneur with a bent for murder, and a talent for creating bizarre and aptly-named killing machines, implements his latest business plan:interactive pay-per-view executions, live on the Internet.

First a ruthless drug dealer is torn to pieces by the"Rehabinator."

A pedophile is dispatched by controlled lightning from the liquid-Taser "Pediphryer."

And a mob boss and his mistress are electrocuted in their swimming pool with the "Lesso-lator", all with a click of the killer's F10 button.

And then another and another...

It's all live on the Internet, and the paying public lines up for the chance to "pull the trigger." A crackpot scientist who's almost as mad as the genius behind the killings holds the key to bursting his dot.com bubble. A free-lance writer and a rogue FBI computer geek must use it to unlock the secret of his identity.
