"With his job on the line, he agrees to investigate a cold case: the death, 40 years earlier, of an MI5 operative. It's thought to be connected to the Maskyn family, creators of much-loved but now contentious Thunderbirds-style TV series The Imaginators, and Parlabane finds himself on the transatlantic cruise liner hosting the 60th anniversary convention as several hundred emotionally stunted fanboy incels alongside an over-remunerated family of nepo babies, trust fund pukes and outright fascists duke it out over The Imaginators' legacy."
Yrsa, a young Black sociology PhD student and Cambridge lecturer, grows fed up with privileged students and casual relationships. After an older supervisor breaks a promise and steals her research, her first killing occurs by accident, but she enjoys the sensation and, crucially, gets away with it. As more victims accumulate, her academic work supplies a false rationale for her anger and actions, including when Hugh exploits her. Someone begins to notice patterns, and her control slips as events spiral. Jack Parlabane, a journalist, investigates a cold case involving an MI5 operative’s death from forty years earlier. The investigation unfolds on a transatlantic cruise liner hosting a 60th anniversary convention for a controversial TV franchise, where fanboy incels, nepo babies, and fascists clash over its legacy.
