It's a big night at the London Palladium. As Jimmy Conway steps out blinking into the spotlights live on national television, he can't help wondering whether he should have perhaps shared his little secret with someone by now. Jimmy has never done any performing of any sort ever before... Just as 'bogus doctors' are occasionally discovered working in hospitals, Jimmy Conway has become a 'bogus celebrity'; winning an award for something he never did, being photographed in Hello! in someone else's house, and ultimately making a fool of the entire mad and shallow celebrity merry-go-round.

Sam Plummer is the undisputed tabloid king. But someone is trying to dethrone him. As news editor of one of the biggest red top Sunday papers, Sam Plummer is no stranger to sex and scandal. When he breaks a sensationally juicy, full-blown political scoop—a Tory peer exposed in a Black Sea love nest with a pair of stunning Ukrainian women a third his age—everything goes spectacularly wrong. Caught at his own game, Sam is cast adrift—but he refuses to go quietly, convinced there is a larger conspiracy at play. Pursued by the paparazzi, police and MI6, and finding he is now the one in the spotlight, Sam must dig deep into a shady world of sex, spies and entrapment to uncover the plot to destroy him. To discover the truth, he must rely o his resourceful ex-military bodyguard, his long retired mentor, and the disarmingly beautiful lawyer he was just starting to get to know... but can he be sure that anyone is as they seem? In this high-adrenaline thriller, Andrew Croker reminds us you can’t always believe what you see in the news... or in real life.
