Description
Life hasn’t turned out how Danny Owen expected it to. Formerly an investigative journalist, now he writes about the music industry and celebrity, focusing on the glitz, glamour and gaudy stars. Currently involved with the ‘Martha Moving Out’ tour, he has no choice but to do the best job he can, despite the fact that rehearsals are clearly not going well. Not suspicious on its own, but things take a dire turn when the star herself is kidnapped and held for ransom.
With the tour in ruins, Danny is forced to work with the promoter, his once sworn enemy, in an effort to save Martha and get the story of a lifetime. Flung into a world of people smuggling, blackmail and international organised crime, the two former enemies pick their way through a minefield where one wrong move could not only blow their rescue attempts but could also end their own lives. In a world of people only showing their best side, trusting the wrong person could be the last thing you ever do.

A great read, romping along through London, Wales and Europe, giving so much detail that I imagined I was right there with Danny, Daisy and the other characters. A world of the music business, radio, TV and the high life, all expertly portrayed in a good story.
I felt there was slightly too much of what I regarded as rather superfluous detail, as in what brand of clothing, where the food was sourced, what the drinks were, which sometimes distracted me from the narrative.
And it’s a wonder they managed to do any sleuthing, considering the amount of alcohol they all put away!
But I really enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to the follow up!
