A stunningly original murder mystery set in the glamorous world of 70s Rock and Roll"Chris is the kind of dark storyteller I love. His writing is both intelligent and compelling." Jennie Godfrey"No-one writes about fame, obsession and dark secrets quite like Chris MacDonald" Mark Edwards******Chelsea, 1977. Rock icon Nereus Forbes is found dead behind a locked door. The verdict: suicide. The whispers: murder. Decades later, Winter Harris is still haunted by rumours that her father - Nereus's one-time closest friend and collaborator - was to blame. Determined to uncover the truth, she delves into the glittering, treacherous world of seventies rock: a place of fame, envy and betrayal. But as old secrets resurface and her search turns dangerous, Winter begins to wonder: how far will someone go to keep the past buried?
