Fellow-contestant Molly Massey is not so sure. She knows Babs had uncovered a dark secret about one of the other players. But which? Molly is faced with a line-up of oddball suspects. There's bird-brained TV wannabe Shellee; foul-mouthed photographer Roger; feisty PR girl Kimmi; mild-mannered schoolmaster Alan; Cozza, drummer with the aptly named rock band Rigor Mortis, hot-tempered taxi driver Rick; and finally Myles, author of the worst spy thrillers ever written. Then there's a second contestant death, and this time it's definitely murder.. Molly enlists the help of fellow-quizzer Peter Bestwick, and the amateur sleuths lurch from crisis to crisis as they pursue their investigation. Always just one step away from disaster, they stagger gamely on. Will they uncover the truth and trap the double killer? And can you beat them to the solution?"
