'A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative'Guardian

THE LATEST BOOK IN THE ACCLAIMED BELSEY SERIES Amber Knight is hot property pop star, film star, front-page gossip.

DC Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He cant shake his habit of getting into serious trouble and his career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end. He is currently of no fixed address - squatting in a disused police station round the corner from Amber's swanky Primrose Hill mansion.

But a knock on the door from a frantic and confused woman looking for her missing son is about to lead Belsey straight into the heart of Amber's glittering life. When a body is found and a twisted crime spree ensues, Belsey finds himself dangerously embroiled in a world of celebrity, obsession, glamour and desperation.

Oliver Harris is the author of the acclaimed Nick Belsey trilogy, which includes the previous titlesThe Hollow ManandDeep Shelter, both of which are available in Vintage paperback. Born in north London in 1978, where he still lives, he has worked in clothing warehouses, PR companies and as a film and TV extra, and now holds a doctorate in psychoanalysis.
