Vražda před zraky plného hlediště?
Když charismatického frontmana skupiny Stigma Ethana Flynna zabije přímo na pódiu před 175 000 diváky elektrický výboj z kytary, podezření padne na Tyrona, jeho výbušné a agresivní dvojče.
Vyšetřením vraždy je pověřen detektiv Vincent Caine a jeho partnerka Shanti Joyceová. Případ, který je svedl dohromady – mrtvá umělkyně nalezená ve skleněné kádi formaldehydu na vlastní vernisáži –, jim k Shantině zděšení přinesl u policie renomé nejpovolanější dvojice pro vyšetřování „ulítlých” zločinů v západní Anglii. A jen málo případů je ulítlejších než ten z festivalu v Glastonbury. Nesourodé duo vyšetřovatelů musí rozplést klubko chaotických výpovědí bodyguardů, milenek, zdrogovaných bedňáků a pochybných barmanek.
Stopy vedou od mystického kopce Glastonbury Tor do somersetské vesničky Kilton, od jasnovidců vykládajících tarot k tajemnému textu ztracené písně.
Dokáže Shanti se svým pragmatismem v kombinaci s Vincovou intuicí případ vyřešit? Je budoucnost největšího světového hudebního festivalu v ohrožení? A co se stane, když jsou dva profesionálové nuceni sdílet stan během horké letní noci?
