In this explosive new thriller, #1 New York Times
bestselling author
Lisa Jackson delves into the deep bond between two sisters
and
their shared
dream that becomes a harrowing nightmare of madness, hatred
and
jealousy…
Cassie Kramer and her younger sister, Allie, learned the
hazards of fame long
ago. Together, they’d survived the horror of a crazed fan
who
nearly killed
their mother, former Hollywood actress Jenna Hughes. Still,
Cassie moved to
L.A., urging Allie to follow. As a team, they’d take the
town
by storm. But
Allie, finally free of small-town Oregon, and just that
little
bit more
beautiful, also proved to be more talented—and driven.
Where
Cassie got bit
parts, Allie rose to stardom. But now her body double has
been
shot on the set
of her latest movie—and Allie is missing.
Police discover that the last call to Allie’s phone came
from
Cassie, though she
has no recollection of making it. Instead of looking like a
concerned relative,
Cassie is starting to look like a suspect—the jealous
sister
who finally grew
sick of playing a supporting role. As the tabloids go into
a
frenzy, Cassie ends
up on a Portland psych ward. Is she just imagining the
sinister
figure who comes
to her bedside, whispering about Allie—a visitor of whom
there
is no record? Is
someone trying to help—or drive her mad?
Convinced she’s the only one who can find Allie, Cassie
checks
herself out of
the hospital. But a sudden slew of macabre murders— each
victim
masked with a
likeness of a member of Cassie’s family—makes Cassie fear
for
her safety and her
sanity. The only way to end the nightmare is to find out
what
really happened to
Allie. And with each discovery, Cassie realizes that no one
can
be trusted to
keep her safe—least of all herself…
