Edward Lincoln is a worldwide celebrity who plays impossibly daring detectives on the big scree. But in reality he is an ordinary man currently stuck in an extraordinary spot. Nerissa, his ailing godmother, has pleaded with him to travel to South Africa to do some investigating--she's afraid someone is tampering with her racehorse. Feeling helpless, Lincoln nevertheless cannot refuse her request.
Once there, Lincoln is overwhelmed by autograph hounds and high suspicions. And when sudden perils cross his path and murder makes a horrific appearance, Lincoln, the actor-turned-investigator, is plunged into a plot of gold, greed, and gilded lives. He ultimately realizes that the only way to uncover the killer is to give not only the performance of his life, but a performance to save his life...
