For most of her life, Izzy has been looking forward to fulfilling her mother\u2019s dream of studying abroad in Italy. Going into her senior year, Izzy is counting down the days until she can leave her humdrum life behind, until Alberto, a handsome and mysterious Italian exchange student shows up for his stay with her family. Now life in her hometown doesn\u2019t seem so drab, as Izzy, and everyone else, is immediately charmed by Alberto and his irresistible accent.
\nBut something about Alberto isn\u2019t quite\u2026right. As an avid true crime fan, Izzy has been following a serial killer case in San Francisco and the murderer, whose description bears a passing resemblance to the Italian exchange student living in her house, seems to have made his way north. As Izzy pays closer attention to Alberto\u2014his actions, his temper\u2014she finds more and more holes in his story that he has trouble explaining away.
\nWhen a local girl is murdered, Izzy thinks Alberto might not be who he seems. Worse, a series of \u201caccidents\u201d seem to target Izzy herself. In a race against the clock, Izzy must convince\u00a0anyone\u00a0that Alberto could be a notorious killer before another girl ends up dead.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
