The Killer and The Movie Star

Hollywood's lights are seductive, but in their shadows lurks a deadly obsession. David Cristi, the horror filmmaker dubbed "gore master" by the tabloids, has made a career from the macabre. But when a tragedy from his past resurfaces, he finds himself drawn away from fake blood and special effects to real-life horror. Together with Vito Martinelli, a retired detective haunted by a case gone cold, and Joy, a young investigator hungry for her first big story, David is pulled into an investigation that grows darker with each clue.

Superstar Bonny Clanton, with her five Grammys and four major movies, believes she's invulnerable to the senseless violence of the city streets. But when she befriends Frank Bonner, a Special Forces sergeant reminiscent of her deceased brother, she unknowingly places herself in grave danger.

Frank, an apparently ordinary all-American man, holds a dark secret-he's already taken two lives, and his true identity remains a mystery. And since Bonny is unaware that she's in the company of a serial killer, it's only a matter of time before he turns on her.

As the team dives deeper, fame, obsession, and violence twist together in ways no one could have foreseen. The killer is closing in, and in a city where everyone's wearing a mask, the truth is the scariest thing of all.

Prepare yourself for a tale where the price of fame is paid in blood-and no one is safe from the spotlight.
