D.D. Warren is seven months pregnant and should be resting. Instead, she takes a consulting job on a serial killer movie filming in Boston. The work seems easy enough. She'll advise the filmmakers on police procedure and earn some extra money. Then someone murders the previous consultant, a former Boston cop. D.D. finds his beaten body and realizes her simple gig has turned deadly. She's stuck in a graveyard surrounded by over a hundred cast and crew members. Any one of them could be the killer. When another person gets attacked, D.D. knows she's running out of time. Her pregnancy makes everything harder, but she can't walk away. She has to untangle the web of deception before the murderer strikes again. The stakes couldn't be higher. Her life and her unborn child's survival depend on catching the killer first.
