About this ebook
First, she imagined it. Then a killer made it real.
“Taut, fast-paced suspense . . . a killer debut.”—Mariah Stewart
Rowan Smith is living in a borrowed Malibu beach house while her bestselling novel is made into a Hollywood movie. A former FBI agent with a haunted past, Rowan thinks she has outrun her demons. But fiction and reality collide when a dismembered body is found in Colorado: the real-life victim had the same name, occupation, and looks as a character in Rowan’s novel. By the time the FBI, the LAPD, and her own private bodyguard gather around her, another person is killed–again, the murder ripped from the pages of Rowan’s book.
In the company of a former Delta Force officer with secrets of his own, Rowan faces an excruciating dilemma: the only way to chase down the tormenting killer is by revisiting the darkness of her past–and by praying for some way out again.
After the prey is chosen, the hunt is on and the kill is certain.

You think the story is going one way when it unexpectedly veers in another direction. I love that it was so unexpected. Brilliant writing, very imaginative, and a wonderful story teller. Love the author....
