A stunningly original murder mystery set in the glamorous world of 70s Rock and Roll

Chelsea, 1977.
Rock icon Nereus Forbes is found dead behind a locked door.
The verdict: suicide.
The whispers: murder.
Decades later, Winter Harris is still haunted by rumours that her father — Nereus’s one-time closest friend and collaborator — was to blame.
Determined to uncover the truth, she delves into the glittering, treacherous world of seventies rock: a place of fame, envy and betrayal.
But as old secrets resurface and her search turns dangerous, Winter begins to wonder: how far will someone go to keep the past buried?

Critic Reviews

Chris is the kind of dark storyteller I love. His writing is both intelligent and compelling (Jennie Godfrey)
No-one writes about fame, obsession and dark secrets quite like Chris MacDonald (Mark Edwards)
A brilliant story… the plot is excellent, the characterisation works well, the writing is well-judged... Well done
Chris MacDonald effortlessly builds a world of glitter and glamour, then peels back the surface to reveal the obsession, deception and darkness underneath. I absolutely love it (Lou Morgan)
