AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Max Tully, controversial, irrepressible radio superstar, is a man who loves surprises. But when he makes an unexpected announcement at his seventieth birthday party it leads to a complicated web of tangled emotions and murder. It seems that this time Max has gone too far. Cool and logical, Verity Birdwood arrives on the scene. But Verity's routine investigation becomes a hunt for a killer, and as terror stalks Max's house by the sea, Verity finds herself caught in a web that nearly costs her life.
