Then Detective Nathaniel Saint appears at her door with unsettling news that unexpectedly reignites her imagination. Suddenly, the words begin flowing again. Petra becomes fascinated by Saint, using him as the blueprint for the detective in her latest thriller. But as their late night conversations and “research sessions” grow increasingly intense, reality and fiction begin to blur in disturbing ways.
