When she starts writing her tenth Detective Miranda Moody novel, however, life takes a frightening turn: an incident straight out of one of her novels occurs in real life.
Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks. Until it happens again.
Then someone she knows dies exactly like a victim in the book she's still writing . . .
Why is someone doing this?
How do they know what she is writing?
And how long before Emilia and her family are next?
