Dying on stage is easy. When Dave Mansford, founding member of 80's band Alternator is electrocuted live on stage during a London comeback concert, DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are brought in to investigate whether it was a simple accident, or vicious murder. However, as they investigate further they find the surviving members of Alternator in the middle of a multi-million-dollar rights sale, a band whose lead singer disappeared in 1998 and has never been declared dead, and whose biggest success, the 1987 album Secrets and Lies seems to be cursed, with Dave being the fifth person involved in it to have mysteriously died in the last month. With the bodycount climbing up the charts and with everyone keeping to their own version of events, can Declan discover what truly happened in a London recording studio over thirty years ago, and why everyone who was there that night has to die?
