New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick transports readers to 1930s California and the Golden Age of Hollywood, where glamour and seduction spawn a multitude of sins. Welcome to Burning Cove where Hollywood glamour conceals a ruthless killer. Vivian Brazier never thought life as an art photographer would include headshots for aspiring celebrities or nightly calls to take snaps of grisly murders. She is called to take photos of a famous actress, the latest victim of the Dagger Killer. Vivian notices eerie similarities to previous crime scenes, details that only a photographer would have noticed and that puts Vivian right at the top of the killer's target list. Nick Sundridge has always been able to 'see' things that other people don't and his talent, along with his dark past, makes him a recluse, but a brilliant investigator. When he is sent to protect Vivian, they together discover that the Dagger Killer has ties to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood royalty and high society. They must uncover the killer who will stop at nothing to add them to their gallery of murders. 293pp, paperback.
