Former actress Layla Caine is an invaluable Profiler for the LAPD, with her unique ability to see through people and her deep knowledge of Hollywood. But when an elusive killer terrorizes Los Angeles, Layla finds herself in a game of cat and mouse with a killer always one step ahead...

A killer claims victims in a macabre tribute to their cinematic triumphs, and Layla must channel her past to unmask the murderer who stages each crime scene with eerie perfection—before the final curtain call.
