Life is sweet again for Oz Blackstone, private inquiry agent turned money magnet. Lottery winner, television performer and reunited out of tragedy with his partner Primavera Philips, he has just been offered a part in a movie and it seems like an offer too good to miss. But a visit from his policeman pal, DI Mike Dylan, resurrects his part-time career as a private investigator, on the trail of a poison pen. When the female lead in the movie is kidnapped from the set in a bizarre echo of the movie's rollercoaster plot, fiction and reality come together in a terrifying climax.
