What this book is about

The fifteenth In Death novel: a computer virus is somehow killing people through their screens — leaving them dead of brain hemorrhage with the word GUILTY on the screen. A vigilante group called Purity is using the technology to execute people they've judged guilty of crimes that escaped the law. Eve must find the virus's source before more people die.
