I am writing a crime novel, its the second in a series. It is based on a drug dealer that uses children to deliver his gear and also to ocllect money. It starts with a 12 year old girl waking and going to scholl as normal, when she gets to scholl a 17year old lad is waiting for her. As she walks up to him, she takes a kitchen knife from her clarinet case and repeatably stabs him killing him. The police have to investigate and find a stream of youngster being used in this way however known of them know who they are working for as all information is given to them through socialnetworking sites. My title favorite title at teh moment is 'In the shadows of his children'. any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

But my first alternative is 'Suffer the little children'. Not sure if that's been used before. It is OK to use the same title that someone else has used, but it's not a good idea if their book is already famous.
Something using the work 'network(ing)'? 'Anti-social network(ing)'?
Or 'play'?
Or a synonym for drugs?
Books with the title 'Suffer the Little Children'.
(almost a bit of a play on Facebook too, though not sue-ably such!)
The children are caught like fish...in The Net.
Organisation through The Net.
Anonimity "
Trapped in "
etc
It is short. Evocative. Intriguing. It speaks.
just a thought...
'Pocket Full of Shadows'
Something like that anyhow. Playing on the picking of pockets, the shadow master and also the collection of kids for criminal gain.
That would be Spliff Richard, Jay.
The Net Weaver?
Spider, Spider?
The Chain Dancers?
How about
Tarnished Innocents
