When William Lorimer gives a talk at his goddaughter's school, he is surprised to find himself accosted by a drama teacher on his way out. She claims her boyfriend has up and left, and that she wants William Lorimer to investigate.
Lorimer, thinking this is domestic dispute, decides this isn't for him. Until a body is pulled from the reservoir. But who could want to kill an actor on the cusp of fame?
Yet as Lorimer is drawn into the man's strange and glamourous world, he finds that all that glitters is not gold. In fact, there's something rotten at the heart of it, a darkness that Lorimer must root out at all costs.
