City of Lost Girls
(UK)

There's a killer on the loose.

He kills the lost girls.

And he always kills in threes...

Larger than life Irish-born Hollywood director Jack Donovan and Ed Loy go way back. In Hollywood in the nineties, Loy used to kiss Jack Donovan's girls goodbye and pay them to go away. Until one day, he saw something he couldn't forgive, something that made Loy steer clear of Donovan for years.

Now Jack is back, shooting a movie on the streets of Dublin, and uneasy about the sinister anonymous letters he's been receiving. Meanwhile, two special extras go missing—they've barely been gone a day, but they've already been shot on, and it would break the budget to replace them now, so the film company are frantic. The producer, Maurice Faye, hires Loy to investigate—and Loy is instantly transported back to a time in LA when three extras went missing on the set of a movie Jack Donovan shot at Point Dume, Malibu.

In LA there's a killer on the loose. He kills young and rootless girls and he always kills in threes. He works in the film business... and now he's back in Dublin.

City of Lost Girls US
(US)

As well as Jack and Maurice, there are two other men—Conor Rowan, First Assistant Director, and Mark Cassidy, Lighting Cameraman—who were in Point Dume, and are still here. Four in the frame... and when the previous victims of the 'Three-in-One Killer' are discovered at locations Jack used for his movies, Loy's suspicion hardens.

Loy flies to LA to liaise with LAPD. He must hope that whatever he finds in his and Jack's shared past will point away from his old friend.

Back in Dublin, the killer breaks his pattern and strikes at Loy where he is most vulnerable. Time is not on Loy's side as he flies through the night from one city to another to outwit a ruthless, motiveless psychopath and save the last of the lost girls.
