How far would you go to take back a dream that was stolen from you?

Making movies is Adrienne Monet's whole life. But her best film was dumped after a studio takeover by male executives who were blind to her genius, condemning her to years of career frustration and identity crisis.

Then she's hired to adapt an esteemed Off-Broadway play. To make the film would restore her career, but the director Egon Swift, a maker of violent, sexist box-office hits, is counting on the film to upgrade his sordid reputation.

Frustrated, Adrienne tells him he's out of his depth and should step aside. He flies into a rage and assaults her and is mortally wounded when she defends herself. She escapes unseen-so far.

The studio agrees to let her rescue the production. Stalked by Buddy Ferino, an implacable NYPD detective who believes Adrienne shot Swift to steal his job, she directs the film on the streets of New York, with Ferino getting ever closer to arresting her for murder.

A complex novel of suspense and moral tension in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith's 'Ripley' novels, The Reckoning of Adrienne Monet is the harrowing story of one woman's struggle to recover her career and her identity.
