Book description
'Do you know what a smash cut is?' 'It's an abrupt edit. A sudden shift
of scene. Used to shock the audience. Very effective. Lots of impact.
It'll be like that. No one will see it coming. Especially her.'
When Paul Wheeler is shot dead during an armed robbery, his lover
Julie Rutledge is convinced that Paul's prodigal nephew, Creighton, is
responsible for the murder. Creighton has a passion for movies and
Paul's murder has all the elements of a blockbuster: family rivalries,
incalculable wealth, and a prominent man dying in the arms of his
beautiful mistress.
Although Creighton has a rock-solid alibi, even his renowned defense
attorney, Derek Mitchell, soon doubts the young man's innocence. The
clock ticks down as Derek and Julie seek to learn if Creighton's
fascination with movie murders is merely a bizarre hobby, or
depravity. Has he begun re-enacting cinema's goriest scenes. . . .and,
if so, who will be his unwitting co-stars?
