Features: On a morning beach, a woman's body lies sprawled. The deceased has dyed hair and red nail polish on her toes, making her appear different from ordinary people. The coastal police initially claimed it was an accidental drowning, but when a button tangled in her hair was discovered, her identity was confirmed as Chris Clay, the most talked-about celebrity in the UK. Now, almost everyone in the world seems connected to her death. Grant, the detective from Scotland Yard, unravels the truth by piecing together clues from the victim's complex social relationships and the crime scene. Through repeated struggles and missteps, driven by courage, wisdom, empathy, and serendipity, he gradually uncovers the truth behind the case.
