    • Una obsesión mortal solo es el principio? Para el productor de Los Angeles Larry Brooker, esta es la película que podría traerle la suerte que durante tanto tiempo le ha estado esquivando. Para la estrella mundial, Gaia, desesperada porque se la tomen en serio como actriz, este es el papel que podría darle una nominación a los Oscars. Para la ciudad de Brighton, los ingresos y la publicidad puede llegar a traer una súper producción de Hollywood sobre la mayor historia de amor ?la del el rey Jorge IV y Maria Fitzherbet? de la que la ciudad fue escenario, son incalculables. Pero para el detective Roy Grace todo esto es una pesadilla hecha realidad. Un acosador obsesionado por Gaia anda suelto, incluso parece que ha viajado desde California a Brighton y ahí está, esperando, vigilando, acechando? «La tensión del siniestro argumento, bien entrelazada con un fino sentido del humor, de esta historia sobre gente de Hollywood que se enfrenta a un fragmento de la historia inglesa, revela que James está en perfecta forma.» The Times
