Showstopper

Peter Lovesey
Works of: Fiction

Bath’s top detective, Peter Diamond, doesn’t believe in jinxes. So when he’s asked to investigate a top TV show plagued by a series of misfortunes, he is unmoved. He’s no fan of the show – which glorifies criminals and mocks the police – and the incidents were spread across several years. It’s clear that this is the press making a sensation out of nothing. He puts the junior member of his squad on the case.

But when young officer Paul Gilbert goes on location with the TV unit and witnesses another near-death incident, Diamond is forced to take an interest. To make matters worse, the press get wind of his involvement and he is under pressure from all quarters. But his troubles have barely started.
