Description
The eleventh Peter Diamond mystery from the master of crime fiction. A fading pop star's attempt to launch an acting career at Bath's Theatre Royal ends in tragedy, with a hospital visit for third-degree burns. Despite the show going on, the agony turns to murder. Detective Peter Diamond is tasked with finding the killer, but his own demons threaten to derail the investigation. As Diamond delves into the case, he must confront his physical and emotional reactions to the theatre, where the victim was last seen. With a complex web of suspects and motives, Diamond's phobia-like response raises questions about his ability to solve the crime. Can he overcome his personal demons to uncover the truth? A gripping mystery that explores the darker side of ambition and the pressures of fame, Stagestruck is a tense and suspenseful thriller from Peter Lovesey.
