About this title

Synopsis

David Knight returns… Crime writer David Knight finds himself a little out of his comfort zone when asked to develop the script for a film of one of his novels. And yet a week in a moated country house with A-list stars is too good to miss, even if the director is notorious for playing with the emotions of his actors, and everyone else. It is only when he discovers that his detective is being portrayed by a method actor, who appears to believe he actually is Tom Travis, that David becomes seriously uneasy. Nor does it help that he has caught the eye of the director’s glamorous, and very rich, wife. But that is only the start. David finds himself at the centre of events that not only involve unusual murder weapons and locked rooms, but sudden death. Can David find a way of keeping fiction and reality apart?
