About this ebook
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.

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!

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's
