Paparazzi aren't known for giving non-celebrities much of their professional attention, but when Pierre LeRoy stumbles across the riddle of Aimee Desberges, RN, and her best friend, Marcie Hamilton, while staking out one of his favorite celebrity targets, he finds himself strangely intrigued. What is it about these two seemingly ordinary women that would make a world famous movie star risk a public arrest by the FBI, cross rugged mountains in a blinding snow storm, and even take a real bullet, all within 24 hours of the most important night of his career? What he finds in his pursuit across two continents puts every generalization he has ever had about Hollywood, celebrities, American society, and governments to the test and astounds even his most jaundiced tabloid readers when he finally puts it all together for them, complete with the most gruesome photographs he's ever taken. But before he files his story, Pierre must reconsider most everything he believes on nothing less than what the true spirit of mankind is really all about.
