Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...until it isn't. Vista Point, California, the hometown of murder mystery author, Ian Patrick and the backdrop for his Seven Deadly Sins series, was the perfect launching point for the press tour of the seventh and final installment. It was the perfect formula to reinvigorate his dwindling career, or so he thought. Before day one could even get off the ground, their well-structured plan was suddenly scattered into the blistering, winter wind. The murder of a young bartender, reluctantly brings Detectives Jamison Porter and Raye Topp out of their comfortable, homicide-free bubble. Their initial investigation quickly reveals a shocking development: the scene was an exact replica of the murder in Ian's first book, Lust. With a deranged copycat killer taking the entire town hostage, the body count continues to rise. The Detectives investigate lead after lead, hoping to stay one step ahead, but the killer seems determined to copy each murder in the series. In order to pull ahead, they know they will need to delve even deeper. The devil truly is in the details. Can they stop the mayhem before his fiction becomes their terrifying reality?
