Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red comes this thrilling novel full of jarring, cinematic twists and breathless suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat.
When millionaire Paul Wheeler is murdered, his family retains renowned lawyer Derek Mitchell to defend the victim’s nephew Creighton—although the police have not charged the young man with the crime. Wheeler’s mistress Julie Rutledge, who is also a suspect, believes that Creighton is the killer despite his rock-solid alibi, and she’ll do almost anything in her quest to prove his guilt—even ruin Derek’s career. But as Derek learns of Creighton’s darker side, especially his bizarre fascination with movie murders, the more he agrees with Julie’s suspicion. The clock ticks down to a shocking ending as Derek and Julie join forces to find the truth. Has Creighton begun re-enacting cinema’s goriest scenes and, if so, who will be his unwilling co-stars? They won’t know until the final Smash Cut.

"Stephen King was 100% right, when he said: "If you want romantic suspense that has teeth...Sandra Brown's your gal."Great author. Great book. I could never choose a favorite Sandra Brown book...but let's just say if you're a fan...this book does not dissappoint. "

Quotes

“Most crime thrillers come from male authors. But with Smash Cut, Sandra Brown shows that she’s right up with the best of the boys....[Brown’ s] dialogue snaps, crackles, and pops, and her characters rise above cliché. Smash Cut deserves to be this summer’s blockbuster thriller.”
— St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
“This superlative romantic thriller from bestseller Brown features a particularly memorable villain, sociopath Creighton Wheeler, who’s obsessed with reenacting scenes from films like Strangers on a Train and Frenzy…Multiple smash cuts (abrupt scene shifts) lead to a wonderfully frenzied finish.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review) -
“Brown delivers more than a few thrills and surprises in this taut, satisfying page-turner.”
— Booklist -
“Packed with surprises and the kind of propulsive plot for which Brown is justly famous, this effort will not disappoint her readers.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“Intriguing characters weave in and out of the twisty plot as a true psychopath re-enacts his own sick fantasies. Cleverly creepy!”
