nFrom the author of the acclaimed The Hollow Man and Deep Shelter, comes the third installment featuring the shrewd, cynical, and brilliant London detective, Nick Belsey, whose investigation into a childs disappearance pulls him into the hedonistic orbit of a young, hot celebrity actress/musician and the dark world lurking underneath its glamorous exterior.n nTwenty-seven, rich and beautiful, Amber Knight is living everyones dream. Her music career is established, her acting career is taking off, and she has a lifestyle fit for the top of the A-List. n nSo why has she started acting so strangely? n nAt least, thats how it seems to Nick Belsey. A less celebrated resident of North London, Belseys decade-long career at Hampstead CID is coming to an abrupt end, but he still cant seem to kick his habit of getting into serious trouble. When hes asked by a desperate mother to help find her only son, Belsey has to infiltrate Ambers glittering world. The seedy underside to her seemingly perfect life--a realm of excess, obsession, lust, and greed--doesnt surprise him. What does is the blood trail that leads directly to Amber. n nAs one twisted crime is followed by another, Belsey finds himself chasing even more answers than when he started out. And when the stakes are raised dangerously high, Belseys own survival is at stake. It may be too late to save his reputation but hes not ready to die just yet--and especially not at the hands of a celebrity. n nn nHarris has a terrific sense of place, hurtling between the wealthiest and most-run-down areas of London. But the cleverest thing about his third Belsey novel is the way the plot unfolds in a chilling and totally unexpected direction.--Sunday Times (London) nn
