The cutthroat world of Hollywood proves to be downright deadly in The Disappearing Act by Catherine Steadman. When British actor Mia Eliot heads to California in hopes of landing a role in a new TV show, she meets Emily, a fellow actor with a warm and easy-going disposition. Unfortunately, Emily goes missing the next day, and when she does show up on Mia's doorstep again she's quite literally not the person she was before.
