TV presenting proves dangerous, when Ada and her partner Lil become involved in a new antiques show and get sucked into a morass of lies, secrets and murder . . .
Barry Stromstein has a serious problem. If he can’t come up with a concept for a new TV antiques show asap, his terrifying boss – TV sensation Lenore Parks – will fire him, and his perfect life will be over. But when he talks to antiques columnist Lil Campbell, he unexpectedly hits pay dirt. Her partner, Ada Strauss, not only suggests the perfect hook for the show, but is the perfect woman to host it.
Ada’s elated, but production of The Final Reckoning seems blighted before it’s even begun when, shockingly, Leonore dies. But Barry seems strangely determined to continue, and as Lenore’s children – the unsettling Rachel and her beloved older brother Richard – become involved, the pilot episode becomes increasingly ghoulish in tone.
Ada’s enjoying herself – really, she is – but as she and Lil are drawn deeper into the lives and affairs of the Parks, they begin to suspect that there are dark, twisted secrets at the heart of the family, and very real danger for them all . . .

D'abord enchanté à l'idée de le publier, Kyle est rapidement choqué par la perversité du récit, qu'il abandonne après en avoir lu quelques pages. Mais lorsqu'il en refuse la publication, William entreprend de ruiner la vie de son éditeur, s'en prenant successivement à son chat, sa copine et son auteur vedette.
Kyle est alors obligé de se replonger dans le roman de William, Devil's Hopyard, et découvre que le livre fait sinistrement écho à l'histoire de la disparition non élucidée de sa petite amie à l'université. Et qu'il ressemble cruellement à la confession d'un criminel.
Un thriller redoutablement efficace, un terrifiant jeu de piste littéraire entre American Psycho et Le Silence des Agneaux

Final Act
Sam Jackson is not a man who suffers fools – or anyone else – gladly. A successful British television producer who fancies himself as a Hollywood mogul, he makes enemies easily, and delights in the fact.
It is no great surprise that such a man should meet a violent death. Detective Chief Superintendent Lambert and Detective Sergeant Hook deduce that the person who killed him is almost certainly to be found among the company of actors who are shooting a series of detective mysteries in rural Herefordshire. But these are people who make a living by acting out other people’s fictions, people more at home with make-believe than real life – and the two detectives find interrogating them a difficult business. How can Lambert and Hook fight their way to the truth when faced with a cast of practised deceivers?
