Description
Brighton, 1953. A quiet flower seller's death sets off a complex case for DI Edgar Stephens and his partner, Max Mephisto. As they delve into the mystery, they uncover a web of connections between art and life, and death. A tableau show of naked 'living statues' at the Brighton Hippodrome seems unrelated, but Stephens and Mephisto know that in Brighton, the line between the two is easily blurred.
As they investigate, Stephens and Mephisto must navigate the darker side of their city's artistic scene. With the help of his daughter Ruby, who is performing at the Hippodrome, they follow a trail of clues that lead them from the streets of Brighton to the ancient world of Cleopatra. Can they unravel the threads of this complex case before it's too late?
