Everyone would kill for their fifteen minutes of fame...
A Premiership footballer is shot dead in cold blood on a busy London street, and a country is gripped by terror. Who is behind this apparently motiveless killing – and who’s next in the firing line?
Jack Garrett is determined to find out. A small-time journalist who's left behind his Lancashire roots for the glitz and glamour – and seediness and squalor – of the capital, he's convinced this is no celebrity stalker. What's the symbolism of the Celtic chain left at the scene of the crime – and why does it nag at his memory?
Aided and abetted by DCI Laura McGanity, desperately trying to juggle police life with motherhood and her feelings for Jack, the trail takes them back to Jack's home town of Turner's Fold – and his past.
What's the connection between the recent assassination and the murder of a young girl ten years before? Could it be that people are not all they seem – and will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame?
Conspiracy, revenge and the high price of fame all combine in this stunning debut from a dazzling new voice in crime fiction
