For Alex Cross, there's no vacation from murder. His family trip to Los Angeles is cut short when he's asked to join the hunt for a brutal killer who's slaughtering Hollywood's hottest players. It begins when Patrice Bennett is shot to death in the balcony of a movie theater and then three-time Academy Award winner Antonia Schifman is murdered outside her Beverly Hills home--her face mauled beyond recognition. After each slaying, the killer sends an e-mail signed, "Mary Smith to the entertainment editor of the L.A. Times describing the murders in grisly detail--and promising more mayhem." This Tinseltown terror is crossing names off the Hollywood A-list faster than you can yell "action!' and the LAPD and FBI are scrambling to determine when Mary will strike again. Now, it's up to Alex to discover if Mary is a celebrity stalker, an actor gone bad or a cog in a chilling conspiracy. Whatever the case, Alex isn't expecting a Hollywood ending.
When he investigates the murder of an actress outside of her Beverly Hills home, FBI agent Alex Cross learns that the attack was the latest in a series of celebrity killings linked to the elusive Mary Smith.
