"A very engaging writing style and a mystery that only lays out all its cards at the very end. There's plenty here to get the tiny grey cells working, as the famous Belgian detective would say." ★★★★★ Amazon Review
"Exceptionally well done and hard to put down ... Detective story enthusiasts are in for a treat." -Midwest Book Reviews.
A mysterious death in front of the camera, one related to the accidental death of a young and legendary actress, forces a film critic down a dangerous investigation that will lead him to an unexpected and shocking resolution.
After a police tragedy that marked his childhood, Polo Levington has turned his life around by becoming a coffee-loving film critic. Owner of a unique memory and a very particular phobia, he knows that there is always something more beneath the surface.
Following a mysterious request, Levin enters the troubled film shoot of "The Last Farewell", an environment rife with deceit. The behind-the-scenes discussions soon take on a new meaning when an unexplained death occurs in front of the camera.
Amidst dubious alibis, everyone on the set is a suspect; yet, no one seems to be the culprit. An unfortunate accident... or the perfect crime? Could it be related to the strange death of the "golden girl of cinema", which shook the country twenty years ago and still remains unsolved?
Tired of being a mere spectator, Levin races against the clock in his twisted investigative debut. He will soon find out that there is a long way between fiction and reality, and that solving the case and unmasking a cold killer is much more dangerous than what the scripts tell...
