Description

But all is not as it seems. Hiding behind lifelike masks are five local celebrities. Desperate to keep their identities secret, they are all unmasked when a body is discovered in the lead singer's garden the morning after their post-gig party. Who is the victim Why was he wearing the lead singer's Mick Jagger mask And why have all the other masks disappeared Enter DI Garibaldi, a poetry aficionado with a penchant for country music and the Met's sole non-driving detective. As he investigates the five members of The Okay Boomers - a fading rom-com heartthrob, a high-profile comedian, a controversial TV pundit, a popular poet, and a national treasure - one thing becomes clear: behind every mask lies a killer truth.
