The new novel from international bestselling author Clive Barker is a savage, poignant ghost story set in Hollywood, that glamorous half-world in which beauty, power and youth are wealth, and all can be stripped away in a heartbeat. A world where every whisper is a conspiracy, and every kiss a lie, and nothing is what it seems, even Death itself. A world of exquisite women and beautiful men; sharks, visionaries and lunatics, all pursuing the flickering illusion that is cinema.

Todd Pickett is a has-been actor at 29, used up by the very system which turned him from an Ohio farm-boy into a superstar overnight.

He's wrong. His retreat from the glare of publicity takes him to a place that no map of Hollywood has ever described: Coldheart Canyon.

Adrian Weale illuminates one of the darkest corners of recent British history as he compares the careers of Casement and Amery - two British citizens who were executed for High Treason. Both men were ineffectual traitors and more of a burden to the Germans than an asset. Casement was known to be a naive idealist and Amery a'moralimbecile', yet both men were made to hang. Drawing on recently released M15 files, Weale shows how the threat of these men lay not in what they did but in who they were: misfits from the heart of the British establishment.
