Overview
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Blood Moon and “masterful storyteller” (USA TODAY) Sandra Brown comes a classic thriller full of jarring, cinematic twists that will have you on the edge of your seat.
When millionaire Paul Wheeler is brutally murdered in an apparent armed robbery, his family hires high-profile attorney Derek Mitchell to defend the victim’s nephew, Creighton. Though the police haven’t accused Creighton of the crime, Wheeler’s mistress, Julie Rutledge, a prime suspect herself, is convinced Creighton is the killer. Handsome and wealthy, Creighton appears untouchable, backed by a seemingly airtight alibi. But Julie is determined to expose his guilt and willing to risk everything—even Derek’s reputation—to prove her case.
As Derek digs into the evidence, he discovers a chilling pattern: a series of killings that eerily resemble infamous movie murders. With time running out, Derek and Julie must unravel the shocking truth before someone else falls victim to a deadly reenactment of cinema’s goriest scenes. Who will be the killer’s next unwitting costar? They won’t know until the final Smash Cut.
