Walking down a Kelvingrove alley, DCI Curzon happens upon a body dumped in a builder's skip. Balder and fatter now, it takes a while to recognise the dead man as 1980s mega pop-star Jimmy Duke, the former singer-songwriter with Glasgow band The Waverleys.

Working his way back through Duke's past associates, Curzon gets immersed in the shady world of the music business and this eye-opening experience takes him from Drumchapel to the Hollywood Hills via Hamburg and Strathbungo, Dalmarnock and Granada, not to mention the Oxfordshire countryside. As usual, he delves so deep he ends up on the wrong side of some very powerful, extremely dark people, but his single-minded drive for truth and justice inoculates him against any fear. Unfortunately, this tunnel vision and dedication to the job also causes him to neglect the newfound romance in his life, for which he must move heaven and earth to rescue when the murder investigation ends and he finally comes down from the adrenaline of the hunt.

One thing's for sure: after reading The Song Thief you will never look at a do-gooding pop-star in the same way again.
