About this listen

Two fearless investigators unite to stop a media-savvy serial killer from carrying out a cataclysmic crime for all the world to see in a riveting thriller by a Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

The FBI calls on former agent Jessica Blackwood to look at a puzzling crime. A wildlife officer has found the body of a popular YouTuber encased in an obelisk made of salt in a remote refuge. When the agency is tipped off to a second body, that of a TikTok star chained to the bottom of Nevada’s Pyramid Lake—her hands clasped in prayer—Jessica recruits a trusted colleague of her own: Floridian underwater investigator Sloan McPherson.

It appears to be the work of a ritualistic serial killer preying on influencers. That tracks when a third victim—a fantasy-game live streamer—barely survives a pipe bomb attack. But in navigating the social media world of instafame, manipulation, and deception, Jessica and Sloan know how illusory appearances can be. As the threats multiply across the country, they fear they’re playing with something more extreme than they imagined: a killer’s endgame that could be nothing less than apocalyptic.

Critic reviews

“Impostor Syndrome pulls no punches and finds Andrew Mayne delving the depths of some of the darkest storytelling he has ever explored…The result is a furiously entertaining novel that never lets up.”—The Bookreporter

Excellent storyline and narrators, loved the way the narrators intertwined the story. I’ve listened to all Andrew Mayne’s books on audible and read the rest. His books are intelligent and at the same time easy to follow and enjoy. I can’t wait for the next Specialist book, and hoping to see a few more Jessica Theo and Sloane books released. I’ll keep listening and reading for as long as Mr. Mayne continues to write. He’s truly found his niche in life! Thank you

Loved that the main characters are women! Although I missed Theo, who’s definitely my fav character of all.
