A celeb wedding venue. A life gone viral. A dead It Girl. The stunning new DCI Christine Caplan thriller from critically acclaimed author Caro Ramsay, who has "a place in the upper echelons of Scottish crime writing" (Financial Times).

Koi, ex-supermodel and face of lifestyle brand the Sunflower Company, is #livingmybestlife in a Scottish castle with her famous family of nepo babies and influencers. Everything they do is posed, filtered and spun for the perfect story. Even when Koi is found on the rocks at the foot of a cliff, the media juggernaut rolls on, with the image of her body, battered and bleeding, splashed across every social platform around the world.

DCI Christine Caplan's job is simple - did Koi fall, jump or was she pushed? Only the family knows what really happened that night and, as with everything in their lives, they're only willing to engage with reveals they can stage. With the world's press breathing down her neck, Caplan must figure out what's real, what it takes to survive in the public eye, and how the truth of a story lies in the telling. As Caplan begins to see through Koi's glossy facade, she realizes just how close to the edge she was, and how easy it can be for one misstep to bring everything crashing down . . .

This gripping Scottish police procedural meets twisted psychological thriller, featuring a complex and fascinating female protagonist, is a perfect choice for fans of tartan noir and authors Val McDermid, Ian Rankin and Elly Griffiths.
