Amber Knight is London's hottest ticket—pop star, film star, front-page, gossip. Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He can't shake his habit of getting into serious trouble. His career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end. He is currently of no fixed address. But a knock on the door is about to lead Belsey straight into the hollow heart of Amber's glittering life—a world populated by the glamorous and the lonely, the desperate and the obsessed. The final book in the hugely admired Belsey series, it sees one of the most cunning and audacious characters in contemporary crime throw himself headlong into his most inextricable mystery yet, and come face to face with a ghost from his own notorious past.
