Tasia McFarland is a washed-up singer desperate to get back to the top of the charts. As her star begins to rise again, the tabloids uncover the fact that Tasia is the ex-wife of the US President; which is one reason the world takes notice when she is killed by a bullet to the neck in front of a crowd of fans. Suicide is suspected, but when the ballistics report comes up empty, the authorities call on Jo Beckett to do a psychological autopsy. As Jo sifts through the facts, she only finds more questions. Poring over Tasia's past quickly becomes a race to extinguish the conspiracy rumour-mill before it incites a level of violence that reaches America's highest corridors of power. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
