"He's trying to kill me."
Judith Daniels goes to her friend's rescue, assuming it's Lacey's usual drama, but when she arrives at the legendary Puppet Factory it's already too late. The police call it an accident, but Judith knows better, and she intends to find the truth.
Ryan Smith, the brilliant founder of the Puppet Factory is rich, gorgeous, famous and reclusive, and he might be the last person who saw Lacey alive. He recognizes Judith, but he's not about to kick her out. She'd only think he had something to hide.
But there are secrets in the converted mill in Connecticut that houses the world's most iconic puppets. Danger lurks, an inconvenient passion sparks between the puppet master and the reporter, but Judith won't run. Not until she makes sure that he only manipulates the puppets, not the people around him.
Was she falling in love with a killer?
