ABOUT THE BOOK

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Rupert’s 30th is a black tie dinner at the Kentish Town McDonald’s – catered with cocaine and Veuve Clicquot.

THE MORNING AFTER

His girlfriend Clemmie is found murdered on Hampstead Heath. All the party-goers have alibis. Naturally.

This investigation is going to take Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp down a rabbit hole of Classics degrees and aristocrats, Instagram influencers and who knows who. Or is it whom? Caius isn’t sure – can he pin any of them down long enough to see how the other half live, before anyone else dies?
