THE AUTEUR
About this ebook
For eleven months, the killer the press calls the Auteur has posed his victims in wide shots that look lifted from a movie set. Then FBI Special Agent Joyce Sanchez finds a canister of 35mm film at the tenth scene, labeled O.E. (Original Ending), and carries it into the editing bay of director Max Hurt.
Now a call sheet has arrived at Max's door. Sunday, 9:00 p.m. A condemned pier in San Pedro. High tide at 9:52. Director: M. Hurt. Camera: The Auteur.
Max has four days to face a truth he has spent twenty-two years rewriting. Joyce has four days to decide whether the man across the table is her only witness, her best suspect, or the one person the killer needs alive.
A tense, twisting psychological thriller for readers of Michael Connelly and fans of Christopher Nolan's puzzle-box storytelling, built on a betrayal twenty-two years old and a countdown that will not stop.
