A movie icon, a murky past and a murder mystery set in the magical city of Venice.
Private investigator Dan Armstrong can t believe his luck when he s invited to the luxury villa of none other than Alice Graceland, movie legend and queen of the silver screen. Could this be his big break - a chance to schmooze with stars and pitch his own murder mystery series? He s already imagining red carpets and a golden Oscar to accompany his faithful canine companion, Oscar the Labrador
But when he gets there, things start to look far from magical ...
Alice isn t looking to bankroll Dan s writing, but instead she wants him to play host at a murder mystery evening with a glamorous (but suspiciously tense) collection of Hollywood royalty. It should be a meeting of old friends - but just how friendly are they? There s champagne, candlelight, and an increasing number of grudges floating beneath the surface.
As the murder mystery evening takes a sinister turn, Dan and Oscar find themselves navigating more than the city s canals to find the truth.
Murder, mischief, and movie-star mayhem in the heart of Venice. Another gripping case for Dan and Oscar to solve
