Description

The famous actress Melissa Dacy is not a woman to be trifled with. Over the years she has become a household name as the mainstay of Diamond Road, a well-known daytime soap opera. But falling ratings call for drastic measures… when Melissa is murdered, suspicion falls on each of the members of the production team: a team in which it seems every member has something to gain by Melissa’s death… and something to hide.

• Martin Maxwell, her husband and co-star in the long-running soap opera
• Dacy Maxwell, their daughter who longs to stretch her wings and fly to pastures new…
• Roly Tanner, a ‘luvvie’ director
• Paul Stanford, a film producer who has eyes for Dacy and wants to cast her in his new film…
• Cis Streeter, Melissa’s sister and dresser who hides a dark secret…
• Sally Kramer, a journalist unafraid to unearth a few nuggets of scandal…
• Inspector Foot of the Yard, an officer of the law, married to the world’s greatest fan of Diamond Road – and so just happens to be in the studio audience…
