'The Champion crew is shooting the hit TV game show near Suva. For the first time, a Fijian is competing for the million-dollar prize and the whole population is ecstatic. Except for Inspector Joe Horseman, whose TV is tuned permanently to the rugby channel.

'But when a fit young finalist dies, Horseman must enter the world of the TV reality shoot to investigate. It’s a world he struggles to understand, even with the help of the Champion fans on his team. Horseman must unpick Champion’s tangle of ambition, fantasy and greed before another player is eliminated - for good. This time, he stares failure in the face.

'Death Off Camera is the fifth novel in the acclaimed Fiji Islands Mysteries series. Crime fans who like unravelling a knotty plot to solve a murder will love B.M. Allsopp’s twisted yarn.'  (Publication summary)
