Director Ragnar Fyr is facing a disaster. His dream project has collapsed after an infidelity scandal, and now the financiers are forcing him to make a new film, Centurion: a clichéd detective story on an archipelago island. He despises absolutely everything about the script but has no choice.
At the same time, his relationship with his wife Stella – who is also stuck in the film project – is at a breaking point. Their rivalry culminates in an unplanned murder, and soon they realize they are frighteningly good at eliminating their enemies. Perhaps both their marriage and careers can be saved – even if the path there is lined with corpses.
With razor-sharp dialogue, amusing twists, and a dose of pitch-black humor, Alexander Karim's new novel is a modern interpretation of the film War of the Roses, but in the film industry world. A biting satire about power, ambition, and how far we are willing to go for art – and for ourselves. What does it really cost to become immortal?
