Nick Santini would have made a good living as a medium if his manager wasn't a thief and he didn't operate in a world of endless corruption. With a TV show cancelled in murky circumstances, a crew member dead on his tour and the police and his past fast catching up with him, Santini is a man on the edge. The medium's job is to lie and lie well and only Santini's talent can save him while his life steadily unravels. Neil Forsyth's novel is a darkly comic investigation of celebrity, illusion, and the lower strata of this world and the next.
