The second of three novels in the Stephanie Beauman series takes the investigative journalist from New York, where she is recovering from the end of her affair with Gabriel, to France and Spain. Producer Jeffrey Carroway is making a film on the Camino de Santiago--the famous pilgrims' walk--and Stephanie has a tip-off that he is planning to buy himself an Academy Award. Stephanie joins the film crew and finds more than she bargained for when things start going wrong on set. Sabotage, bribery, and artistic integrity are all in the mix as Stephanie finds herself attracted to the charismatic Carroway, deals with the attentions of the director Paolo and handsome actor Damian Croft, tries to work out why the location manager is keeping such a close eye on her, and wonders whether she will ever truly escape Gabriel.
