This book is from The Brighton Mysteries series.
Teenager Rhonda has gone missing from her boarding school. She has left a note and it is thought that she has gone to London to see the young American film star Bobby Hambro who is in the country to begin a new film.
Superintendent Edgar Stephens is in charge of the police force in Brighton and has to look into the disappearance of Rhonda. Edgar's wife Emma, who used to be one of his detectives before they married and had a family, realises that there could be a link between Rhonda's disappearance and two other young women who have also disappeared in similar circumstances, each leaving a note. One of them suddenly turns up on the beach. She has been murdered.
Edgar's friend, the magician Max Mephisto, has returned to Brighton as he too will be taking a part in the film with Bobby Hambro. Max's daughter Ruby goes missing, also leaving a note, which is very unlike her as she never misses a day's work. Together they need to work out who is taking the girls and find them before any more murders take place.
