Publisher's summary

Ten days after the station closed, he was informed he'd been officially suspended pending a hearing over allegations of gross misconduct. No details. A few hours after that, he got a call from a man who wouldn't give his name but told him he was under surveillance.... They were bracing themselves for a shit-storm. Stay safe, the caller said, and hung up.

Amber Knight is hot property - pop star, film star, front-page gossip.

DC Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He can't 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.

"Mazy, pacy London noir." (Ian Rankin)

"A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative...hats off to Harris, who has, once again, managed it with style and authority." (Guardian)

"Gripping, and Oliver Harris is punchy and perceptive." (The Times)

Seamless

This story flows at a steady pace with detective Belsey uncovering bits of information along the way. The story is told in a manner that made it difficult for me to determine what happened and that fueled the intrigue. An unusual ending which can only mean another book in the series is forthcoming. I really enjoyed this book.
