Bestselling crime novelists are the prey of a diabolical killer who re-enacts the most chilling scenes from his victims' books. Professor Fiona Cameron, a psychologist who helps police track serial killers, is intrigued after her lover, thriller writer Kit Martin, tells her a fellow novelist has been killed. When the killer strikes again, Fiona is caught in a race against time that culminates in a confrontation between hunter and hunted.
