  It begins one spring evening in a splash of blood-red, when a famous comedian is shot getting out of his limo. No one sees the assailant, or the paintball gun used to splatter the helpless stand-up with two pints of Dulux Crimson Rose. Now it seems that no TV funny-man, no fitness guru, no gameshow hostess is safe from Mischief, the anonymous prankster determined to play practical jokes on public figures in a most humiliating and hilarious manner. Journalist Christina Bell is in pursuit. Her paper wants to know who's behind it, and Chris knows it's the biggest story of her career. The police are pretending to take it seriously, and the public are getting involved. Chris's ex, Mason, has become obsessed with unveiling Mischief. He believes the victims have something in common, and if he could only concentrate, rather than mope over his screwed up life, he might be able to figure it out. After all, he has Elvis Presley on his side. How can he fail?

  The media muppets and the slimy celebs are running scared. Someone is out to humiliate and ruin them - someone with a macabre sense of humour and an unknown grudge. The Trickster. Meet Mason Dixon, a man with nothing to do with his days but tell the cat about his arid love life. He's determined to track down the perpetrator of these cruel attacks - if only to re-ingratiate himself with his ex, who's covering the story for a national tabloid. Mason doesn't have much to go on, but he's enlisted the help of a gaunt eccentric called Elvis Presley. And as he sleuths his way towards the quarry, Mason finds that the Trickster's campaign is getting a little too close to home...
