As the FBI, LAPD, and her private bodyguard investigate, another murder mirroring her fiction occurs. With a former Delta Force officer on her side, Rowan realizes that finding the killer will force her to revisit the darkness she has left behind and perhaps seek a way out of her own predescribed fate.
