Scandal. Love. Murder.
When Sir James Harrison, one of the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of ninety-five, he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family, but also a secret so shocking, so devastating, that it could rock the British Establishment to its core . . .
Joanna Haslam is an ambitious young journalist, assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral. The biggest icons of the celebrity world are in attendance. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind, the contents of which others have been desperate to conceal for over seventy years.
As she peels back the veil of lies that have shrouded the secret, she realises that she's close to uncovering something deadly serious.
But someone is on her tracks, and they'll stop at nothing to reach the letter before she does . . .
