The Disappearing Act

Description

**From the *New York Times* bestselling author of *Something in the Water* and *Mr. Nobody* comes an unputdownable mystery about the nightmares that abound in the pursuit of Hollywood dreams (Caroline Kepnes, author of the You series).** **Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric–I couldn’t put it down.–Lucy Foley, author of *The Guest List*** *A woman has gone missing. But did she ever really exist? * A leading British actress hoping to make a splash in America flies to Los Angeles for the grueling gauntlet known as pilot season, a time when every network and film studio looking to fill the rosters of their new shows entice a fresh batch of young hopefuls–anxious, desperate, and willing to do whatever it takes to make it. Instead, Mia Eliot, a fish out of water in the ruthlessly competitive and faceless world of back-to-back auditioning, discovers the sinister side of Hollywood when she becomes the last person to see Emily, a newfound friend. Standing out in a conveyor-belt world of fellow aspiring stars, Emily mysteriously disappears following an audition, after asking Mia to do a simple favor. But nothing is simple. Nothing is as is seems. And nothing prepares Mia for a startling truth: In a city where dreams really do come true, nightmares can follow.
