'We've got a corpse that looks like one of the investigators, a houseful of Hollywood and a media machine that's going to eat it like gooey chocolate.' Lieutenant Eve Dallas is panicking - and she's not at a crime scene. Forced to attend a celeb-packed party for a new movie based on her most famous case, she is surrounded by actors who look like everyone in her life. Just as the end is in sight, brutal reality crashes through the sparkly façade. There's been a murder. The obnoxious actress playing Eve's partner, Peabody, has been found face down in the pool. As Eve hastily interviews the guests, it's hard to find anyone who didn't have a motive for the crime. But with a murdered Personal Investigator, a missing tape recording and a hugely expensive movie in the mix, Eve must fight to keep a clear head and stop a calculated killer.
