About this eBook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red comes this “taut, satisfying page-turner” (Booklist) full of jarring, cinematic twists that will have you on the edge of your seat.
When millionaire Paul Wheeler is brutally murdered, 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. Determined to expose his guilt, Julie is willing to risk everything—even Derek’s reputation—to prove her case.
As Derek digs into the evidence, he discovers a chilling pattern rooted in Creighton’s obsession with infamous movie murders. With time running out, they must unravel the shocking truth before someone else becomes his next victim in a deadly reenactment of cinema’s goriest scenes. Who will be his unwilling costars? They won’t know until the final Smash Cut.

Good, suspenseful novel but eerie. Creighton's character made me have to stop reading and regroup. I do love the ending, didn't expect that. Sandra, never disappoints!

I have never read a Sandra Brown book that has been bad. Known twist and turns it does it take you to a final ending instead of letting you hang.
