When a woman is found murdered in the San Antonio River Walk area, Detective Mara Reyes discovers the killing may be connected to once-celebrated novelist Ethan Sloan.

Seven years earlier, Sloan's career collapsed after a real homicide in Colorado appeared to imitate a murder scene from his bestselling novel Ash Summit.

Now someone has pulled Ethan Sloan back into the narrative.
