Publisher Description
Jackson Thomas is a press hound and content writer living in the fast-paced entertainment scene of Hollywood, California. While on assignment covering a budding film franchise, Jackson meets and befriends a talented, though troubled, author, Agnes Powell. As their relationship develops, it is also masked in secrets and uncertainty, as the author reveals that pressure is mounting from all sides. When she slides into a deep spiral of drugs of paranoia, Jackson must do what he can to protect her from the dangers she herself doesn't fully understand.
Jackson's life takes a dark turn when, after helping Agnes through a hard recovery, the author goes missing. When she turns up, dead by overdose in her own home, Jackson swears to find out the truth about what became of her in her final hours. As the industry reacts to the author's untimely death, Jackson's original convictions about the meaning and cause of Agnes Powell's death are turned on their head. After an unsettling interview with a pair of detectives, Jackson begins to sense that the evidence points to him. Jackson must race against the clock to discover what truly became of the author, and why mysterious forces at work in the city seem intent on framing him for her death.
Meanwhile, Jackson's work for the media company puts him in a position to make an important discovery about the leading actor in the first film of the franchise. Close family ties with a very large, very shady holding company make Jackson suspicious of the actor. As Jackson races towards the truth, the steel jaws of the trap are closing in around him. Rumors and whispers from the industry indicate that the deceased author's work will be rewritten, and it's up to Jackson to preserve the integrity of her work, as it may be too late to save himself.

As corny as this sounds…
Jackson Thomas’s description of Agnes’ writing style is a perfectly accurate description of Aaron Easton’s prose. I was searching for a new series to begin after painfully waiting for one of my currently in-progress series to release it’s next installment and happened upon this by chance. I was cautiously hopeful based on the description, but more cautiously than anything. Needless to say my cautious approach was unfounded. I was drawn to this story like a moth to a flame, and I couldn’t put it down. Even when I had to take a break, I found myself constantly mulling over the mysteries in my mind trying to figure out what turn it would take next. Overall this story was so great to read and I had so much fun playing Private I. Along with Jackson. Thank you for this wonderful story, I truly cannot wait to read the next one.
