Even though Max''s calling led him to become a vicar, his past life as a spy catches up with him . . .
Max receives the call for help when the body of glamorous film star Margot Browne is washed ashore at Monkslip-super-Mare. George, his former boss in the secret service, tells Max a former colleague, Patrice Logan, has asked MI5 for help - particularly, Max''s help.
It''s a perfect ''closed circle'' murder since victim Margot must have been killed by one of the group of actors, stylists, scriptwriters and other hangers-on aboard the yacht they were cruising on. Patrice suspects the yacht''s owner, a playboy film director she''s been keeping tabs on for smuggling, but Max isn''t so sure. Max and DCI Cotton interview the suspects as they lounge about on one of the luxury hotels dotting the waterfront. Tipped by the playboy director, Max uncovers the truth about the star''s life and death. But would Margot kill - or be killed - to keep her lurid past firmly in the past?
