Driving back, she pulled in at a convenience store—and walked right into a robbery in progress. One gunshot from a jittery thief was about to change her world.

She may be down, but she’s not out. So when a woman vanishes, leaving her car behind in a supermarket parking lot, Sloan searches online for similar cases. She finds them, spread across three states. Men and women, old and young—the missing seem to have nothing in common. And the abductions keep happening.
Luckily, the new man in her life shares her passion for solving this mystery. But it will take every ounce of endurance to get to the dark heart of this bizarre case—and she's willing to risk her life again if that's what it takes to stop the horror.

Big Name Fan by Ruthie KnoxBexley Simon and Sam Farmer aren't detectives, but they played them on TV. The iconic cult hit that was Craven's Daughter, ended five years ago, and their friendship died along with it. Fans were disappointed that the pair's legendary chemistry went unfulfilled and crushed that the actual spark between actresses Bex and Sam didn't pay off, either. The network never intended for two women to get romantic, in life or onscreen, despite the fans. But the bigger tragedy was the loss of their dear friend, makeup artist Jen Arnot, whose accidental death cast a pall over the series' last episodes. Now the network has decided on a reunion special, and Bex and Sam are thrust together once more as hosts of a re-watch podcast that will feature favorite episodes. Their first guest-a megawatt star who played a murder victim early on-drops a bombshell. Among the millions of pixels of fanfic written about the show online, one truly prolific author, known in the fiction world as the show's Big NameFan, was an insider, almost certainly someone from the cast or crew. As the podcast moves along-and the spark between Bex and Sam threatens to burn down the studio-the pair realize they're faced with two actual mysteries: Who is their Big Name Fan? And was Jen's death an accident, or did someone want her dead? Sifting through clues as they question cast and crew, the duo will need to separate fact from fiction as they make their personal partnership into unmistakable canon . . ." |
