Synopsis

'A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative' Guardian THE LATEST BOOK IN THE ACCLAIMED BELSEY SERIES Amber Knight is hot property - pop star, film star, front-page gossip. DC Nick Belsey is less celebrated. He can't shake his habit of getting into serious trouble and his career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end. He is currently of no fixed address - squatting in a disused police station round the corner from Amber's swanky Primrose Hill mansion. But a knock on the door from a frantic and confused woman looking for her missing son is about to lead Belsey straight into the heart of Amber's glittering life. When a body is found and a twisted crime spree ensues, Belsey finds himself dangerously embroiled in a world of celebrity, obsession, glamour and desperation.

Media Reviews
Mazy, pacy London noir -- Ian Rankin
Mazy, pacy London noir -- Ian Rankin
Harris has a terrific sense of place, hurtling between the wealthiest and most-run-down areas of London... The plot unfolds in a chilling and totally unexpected direction. -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
A fast-paced thriller that is also nuanced and evocative...hats off to Harris, who has, once again, managed it with style and authority. -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *
Non-stop activity is exhaustingly gripping, and Oliver Harris is punchy and perceptive. -- Marcel Berlins * The Times *
Meticulously plotted, with a delirious, haunted, paranoid atmosphere. Belsey is an irresistible mixture of the reliable and the reckless, laconic and tightly wound... Harris writes beautifully... Imbued with an uncommon subtlety and intelligence, House of Fame is a superb novel. -- Declan Hughes * Irish Times *
