Tv produsent Laurie Moran blir opprømt når piloten for hennes virkelighetsdrama Under Suspicion blir en suksess. Programmet får en fantastisk start når det bidrar til å løse en beryktet mordsak i første episode. Når den vakre og talentfulle UCLA studenten Susan Dempsey ble funnet død var det mange spørsmål som dukket opp. Hvorfor var Susans bil parkerts milevis fra liket? Hadde hun noen gang møtt opp på audition slik hun skulle? Hvorfor unngår Susans kjæreste spørsmål om forholdet deres? Og hvorfor manglet Susan en sko når hun ble funnet død? Laurie vet at drapet er godt stoff til tv programmet, spesielt når noen av de mistenkte inkluderer Hollywoods elite. Spenning og drama egner seg godt for tv-skjermen, men er Cinderellamorderen klar for et nærbilde?
Television producer Laurie Moran is delighted when the pilot for her reality drama, Under Suspicion, is a success. Even more, the program—a cold case series that revisits unsolved crimes by recreating them with those affected—is off to a fantastic start when it helps solve an infamous murder in the very first episode. Now Laurie has the ideal case to feature in the next episode of Under Suspicion: the Cinderella Murder. When Susan Dempsey, a beautiful and multi-talented UCLA student, was found dead, her murder raised numerous questions. Why was her car parked miles from her body? Had she ever shown up for the acting audition she was due to attend at the home of an up-and-coming director? Why does Susan’s boyfriend want to avoid questions about their relationship? Was her disappearance connected to a controversial church that was active on campus? Was she close to her computer science professor because of her technological brilliance, or something more? And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered? With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will attract great ratings, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood’s elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen—but is Cinderella’s murderer ready for a close-up?
