‘Time for a martini, darling?’

Wise-cracking, cocktail-swilling detective duo Nick Moore and his glamorous Italian wife, La Contessa, receive a last minute invitation from the Prime Minster to a glamorous but intimate dinner party at Kirribilli House on New Year’s Eve. The intriguing guest list includes several top diplomats, a casino billionaire, a dodgy bookie, a controversial doctor, a social media influencer and, of course, Nick and La Contessa’s trusty beagle, Baxter. But a dramatic revelation from the PM sets off more fireworks inside than outside … and that’s before the bodies start to pile up.

As suspicion falls on some of the most powerful people in the country, the race is on. Can Nick and La Contessa solve the case before anyone else joins the dying diplomats’ club?
