Abstract
After a grisly murder, a missing star, and a stunning theft disrupt a glitzy movie premiere, the glitterati and paparazzi leave Rome for the "safer" confines of San Francisco. There Italian police detective Nic Costa, still charged with securing priceless movie-related artifacts, redoubles his viligance. When two more stylized murder occur, an enigmatic American actress drafts Nic as her personal bodyguard. But can he resist her allure long enough to pursue a possible link to the Italian Mafia and chase down the killer?
