DSI William Lorimer first meets Meredith St Claire when he is giving a careers talk at his goddaughter's school. The popular and glamorous drama teacher is distraught, begging him to investigate her fiancé's recent disappearance, but with a report already made to the relevant authorities, there's nothing more Lorimer can do.

Until a body is discovered on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Guy Richmond was a wealthy and charismatic actor, adored by everyone. Or so it first seems. But as Lorimer and his team are drawn deeper into the mystifying world of professional theatre, they find themselves caught in a web of confidences and rivalry, thwarted dreams and ruthless ambition.

For it seems the finest actors of all are those with the darkest secrets to hide.

Acts of Malice by Alex Gray brings a gripping new challenge to DSI William Lorimer's doorstep, combining a thrilling plot with the atmospheric and intense setting of Glasgow's theatre scene. Readers who appreciate mysteries with depth and complex characters will be entranced by this new addition to Alex Gray's popular series.
