If she doesn't solve the mystery, her own best seller will spell out her doom. When a filmmaker friend is brutally murdered in the manner of a death scene in one of his movies, Sophie becomes convinced that a copycat killer is on the loose.and that she's the next target. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave. ("My sister's married to a Polynesian! I just love your culture!") So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be maybe it's from a lifetime of fielding dumb comments about her half-black, half-Jewish ethnicity. When a mystery writer cries bloody murder, everyone blames her overactive imagination.
