For Pin-up and Bobby Tanner life could not be better, until the day they are asked to help in solving show business entrepreneur, Mo Parker's, murder. Their search takes them from the world of Hollywood movies through to the seedier back streets of London. They need to work 'hand in glove', and make use of all their contacts and underworld knowledge to unravel the dark secrets that lie behind Parker’s death.

Eighteen months have passed since the concluding scene of 'Hand Over Fist', and disgraced ex detective Bobby Tanner is enjoying his life in business partnership with entrepreneur John Staples, better known as Pin-up. Bobby lives in an

exclusive riverside apartment with the lovely Zoe Jackson and his life has never been better. Everything is plain sailing until the day that Pin-up calls him into his office with details of an investigation for Bobby to carry out.

A few months earlier, famous show business agent Mo Parker was murdered in his country mansion and the police investigation team led by Bobby's ex colleague, DS Jess Mulligan has got nowhere with its enquiries.

Pin-up is a personal friend of Parker's most famous client, superstar actress/model Paige Freeman, who feels that large amounts of money, handled for her by Parker, have gone missing.

With inside information from Mulligan, Bobby is less constrained by protocol than the detective and, with the help of the former criminal enforcer, Xenon, Bobby is able to pick up a clear thread which leads him to Mo Parker's killer.

However, as a clearer picture of events emerges, it is obvious that dark forces and motivations lie behind Parker's death. The identity of the murderer becomes almost incidental as Bobby searches for the truth, and he needs to move quickly if matters are not to spiral completely out of control.
