His career at Hampstead CID is coming to a dishonourable end. He is currently of no fixed address. But a knock on the door is about to lead Belsey straight into the hollow heart of Amber's glittering life - a world populated by the glamorous and the lonely, the desperate and the obsessed. A deadly combination. The House of Fame is a blistering joyride into the murderous underside of celebrity. This is the latest book in the hugely admired Belsey series, it sees one of the most cunning and audacious characters in contemporary fiction throw himself headlong into his most inextricable mystery yet, and come face to face with a ghost from his own notorious past.

Media Reviews
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 Harris has a rare ability to combine storytelling that has a freewheeling, improvisatory feel with a plot that has been long hours in the concocting... [Belsey] is fast becoming the best anti-hero in British crime fiction. Irish Independent
