Introducing . . . CUT, COLOR, KILL.

There's a little lie, we like to tell ourselves, that people like you and me, nice people,

never find ourselves in the crosshairs of a murderous plot.

Truth is, even nice guys, cross paths with people who want them out of the picture.

Nice guys, like Fabio Semantilli.

Big man and big heart, big voice, big laugh.

A rock star hairstyles who drove a Porsche, he was like a wizard behind the chair.

The killers came for Fabio in his own backyard.

Sitting on his back patio, minding his own business, completely ambushed, taken by surprise,

horrifically killed.

Who could have done this?

You can't rationalize it, you can't figure it out.

This just doesn't happen in Woodland Hills.

There was rampant speculation about everything.

But every wild theory was wrong.

We were dumbfounded, I would have never in a million years imagined this.

We were played the entire time.

Because the truth was even more unbelievable.

Did he just say he stabbed him?

Is anyone hearing what I'm hearing?

And even more heartbreaking.

The uncertainty of not knowing is a form of agony in itself.

From Sony Music Entertainment and novel, this is Cut Color Kill.
