The Disappearing Act

This is "an unputdownable mystery about the nightmares that abound in the pursuit of Hollywood dreams" (Caroline Kepnes, author of the You series), from the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water and Mr. Nobody.

"Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric--I couldn't put it down."--Lucy Foley, The Guest List author

There has been a missing lady. But was she ever really here?

A well-known British actress who wants to become well-known in the United States takes a plane to Los Angeles for the brutal pilot season, when every studio and network hoping to fill the slots on their new shows entices a new group of young hopefuls who are desperate, eager, and prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed.

Rather, as the last person to see Emily, a new acquaintance, Mia Eliot, a fish out of water in the brutally cutthroat and impersonal world of back-to-back auditions, learns about the darker side of Hollywood. After an audition, Emily, who stands out in a world filled with other budding stars like a conveyor belt, vanishes unexpectedly after requesting Mia to perform a little favor. However, nothing is easy. All is not as it appears. Furthermore, nothing prepares Mia for the shocking reality that nightmares might ensue in a place where dreams come true.
