The House of Fame by Oliver Harris
'A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative' Guardian THE LATEST BOOK IN THE ACCLAIMED BELSEY SERIES Amber Knight is hot property – pop star, film star, front-page gossip. DC Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He can’t shake his habit of getting into serious trouble and his career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end. He is currently of no fixed address - squatting in a disused police station round the corner from Amber's swanky Primrose Hill mansion. But a knock on the door from a frantic and confused woman looking for her missing son is about to lead Belsey straight into the heart of Amber's glittering life. When a body is found and a twisted crime spree ensues, Belsey finds himself dangerously embroiled in a world of celebrity, obsession, glamour and desperation.
