It's no secret Los Angeles is known for beautiful people, and when victims begin to turn up on the streets of South L.A., beauty seems to be the sole motivation of a vicious killer. With prompting from long-time friend and reporter, Marc Aguilar, Special Agent Kate Reid soon finds herself assisting the LAPD and Detective Ray Sharpe, a veteran homicide cop hesitant to relinquish control. As the death toll rises and public outcry reaches a fever pitch, the rest of the BAU team arrive to help. With tensions already high, Kate and Agent Nick Scarborough's precarious friendship begins to get in the way, neither eager to address the strains of the past few months. A breakthrough in the investigation soon arrives in the form of a reluctant witness, but no one is prepared for the unfathomable explanation behind the horrific murders. The lives taken and the reasons why shatter any remaining illusions Kate has about the world in which she lives. But will this mark the end of her world, or will it be a catalyst for change?
How to Read Like a Writer
When you Read Like a Writer (RLW) you work to identify some of the choices the author made so that you can better understand how such choices might arise in your own writing. The idea is to carefully examine the things you read, looking at the writerly techniques in the text in order to decide if you might want to adopt similar (or the same) techniques in your writing. You are reading to learn about writing. Instead of reading for content or to better understand the ideas in the writing (which you will automatically do to some degree anyway), you are trying to understand how the piece of writing was put together by the author and what you can learn about writing by reading a particular text. As you read in this way, you think about how the choices the author made and the techniques that he/she used are influencing your own responses as a reader. What is it about the way this text is written that makes you feel and respond the way you do?
