A famous Hollywood producer, Eddie Ealing, is found dead and mutilated in his mansion—a heinous killing that mimics one of his own grisly thriller films. Only days before, Eddie had received a disturbing e-mail message containing a blood-spattered picture of a young woman and what looks like a human heart, from a source known only as "Mike's Gifts." Notorious for his belligerent character and ruthless tactics, it seems like everyone had a grudge against the wealthy Oscar-winner—including his powerful family that runs a lucrative business based on memory research.

Assigned to this high-profile case is Detective Lane Daily, whose investigation turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse game when her own dark secrets are discovered . . . and messages from Mike's Gifts begin appearing in her inbox
