Reduced to making a living from voice-overs and commercials, stunned by his agent's and his girlfriend's indifference, and envious of rising star Gordon Wilde, struggling actor Philip Fletcher turns to murder.

Shaw, Simon

Furious that a hated rival is up for knighthood in the New Year's Honors List, Philip Fletcher takes advantage of the untimely death of a fellow actor to use blackmail and get on the List too, but things do not go quite as smoothly as he had intended.

Another wonderfully funny, satirical and blackly comedic novel from the highly acclaimed Simon Shaw, whose Philip Fletcher series is fast becoming addictive.
