In Margin of Error, Britt Montero -- the tough-as-nails police beat reporter -- finds herself attached to a major Hollywood star about to film an action movie in Miami. The character he portrays brings him into the newsroom, and into Britt's life, to research his role. But soon the film's plot is reflected in real life, and danger lurks -- on the set, in the newsroom, and on the streets. An obsessed madwoman stalks the star, and mysterious accidents, mishaps, and death push the production dangerously over budget. Britt and the star become so close that both are now menaced by the obsessed fan. Is she the only one, or is someone else also determined to sabotage the film and murder the star?
