A compelling new near-future thriller from award-winning author Walter Jon Williams

Dagmar Shaw got out of the game... and into the movies.

Sean is a washed-up child actor reduced to the lowest dregs of reality television to keep himself afloat. His life was a downward spiral of alcoholism, regret and failure – until he met Dagmar.

But Sean has secrets, dark even for the Hollywood treadmill of abuse, addiction and rehab. And Dagmar is an enigma. There are dark rumours about her past – people tend to die around her. Now, she wants Sean for something. A movie, she says, but with her history, who knows what her real game is?
