When rock star Cougar Bill is found hanged, DCI Max Bellamy investigates what appears to be suicide — until links to past drownings and a threat to his MP wife emerge. As secrets unravel, Bellamy must race to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
When Cougar Bill, lead guitarist and founder of the iconic pop group The Cougars, is found hanging from the rafters of his sprawling country home by a curious schoolboy, Detective Chief Inspector Max Bellamy is called in to investigate.
Was it suicide—or something far more sinister? What links Bill’s death to a string of mysterious drownings from years past? And how much does Josie, Bill’s wife and the band’s manager, Eric Irwin, really know?
As Bellamy digs deeper, he finds himself navigating a tangle of suspects, secrets, and those eager to dismiss the death as a suicide. But when threats are made against his wife, MP Louise Bellamy, the case becomes personal — and the stakes turn deadly.
Will Bellamy uncover the truth before it's too late?
