More killings and more e-mails follow, and Mary Smith is getting better every time. To hunt down this merciless killer of Tinseltown's elite, Cross must navigate a world where the stars sip San Pellegrino at the Ivy as hopefuls hover around studio gates with 8x10 glossies. And when the case catapults into blockbuster proportions, Cross and the LAPD scramble to find a pattern--before Mary sends one more chilling update."
