Blakely knows what it’s like to be in the mind of a killer. Just as she knows what it’s like to be in the mind of a detective, a medieval knight in search of honor, or a ship captain long at sea. She knows, because she reads. She thought books were her safe haven, until fiction started to become her reality. As the crime novel she’s reading unfolds before her eyes, Blakely finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation with far too much knowledge of the crime. The police think she’s guilty, her best friend thinks she’s crazy, and her favorite past time is quickly becoming dangerous. But Blakely has never left a book unfinished, and this is one she’ll definitely have to see through to the end.
