Summary

“Utterly thrilling, Gray paints a seedy and uncaring Hollywood that leaps off the page.”—The Sun

All she wanted was to see her name in lights. Now, her disappearance has made her front-page news.

It’s been twenty years since Madison James had any kind of success in Hollywood. Now she’s disappeared and a TikTok sleuth has found her purse discarded in a Los Angeles park. The news spreads like wildfire across a nation hungry for celebrity tragedy, and the struggling actress’s mysterious disappearance quickly becomes a national obsession.

Detectives Sarah Delaney and Rob Moreno of the LAPD Missing Persons Unit take the case. But truth is a rare commodity in Tinseltown; some people will stop at nothing to get what they want and Delaney and Moreno soon find themselves mired in Hollywood’s dark underbelly with little in the way of clues.

As revelations from the past emerge, it becomes apparent there is more going on than meets the eye. With an obsessive public watching every step of the investigation, can the police find Madison before she becomes more than just missing?

Critic reviews

The Final Act is a riveting page-turner that exposes Hollywood's dark underbelly. This book is a fast-paced, nonstop thrill ride filled with scandal, intrigue, and endless twists and turns you won't see coming. If you pick this up, make sure you clear your schedule first because you won't be able to put it down!” —Lisa Regan, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author

“A gripping, compelling, pacy tale that explores the MeToo movement and the seedy side of Hollywood, showcasing how young women have historically been exploited in their ambition to become famous. Glamour, greed and gaslighting abound, this one’s a knockout!” —Christina McDonald, USA Today bestselling author of the Jess Lambert series

“So much more than a mystery, The Final Act exposes the wealthy and powerful who prey on the desperation of dreamers. With an emotionally bruised detective on a mission to find a missing actress, this gritty suspense explores the darkness lurking below the bright lights in the City of Angels. And just when you think you've solved the case, Lisa Gray flips the script, proving her expert talent. A beguiling thriller that will make your head spin.” —Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today bestselling author of A Friend in the Dark
