_____________________

DSI William Lorimer first meets Meredith St Claire when he is giving a careers talk at his goddaughter's school. The popular and glamorous drama teacher is distraught, begging him to investigate her fiance's recent disappearance, but with a report already made to the relevant authorities, there's nothing more Lorimer can do.

But then a body is discovered on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Guy Richmond was a wealthy and charismatic actor, adored by everyone. Or so it first seems. But as Lorimer and his team are drawn deeper into the peculiar world of professional theatre, they find themselves caught in a web of confidences and rivalry, thwarted dreams and ruthless ambition.

For it seems the finest actors of all are those with the darkest secrets to hide.

Reviews

Her bestsellers have a certain charm without the gritty edges of most Glasgow crime thrillers. Probably because William Lorimer and his team are dedicated detectives with values, and ethics . . . I loved it! * PETERBOROUGH TELEGRAPH *
