Stockholm. Veille de la Saint-Jean. Pouvoir, sexe et ambition: un mélange détonnant. Surtout lorsqu'il explose sous le feu des projecteurs. Michelle Carlsson, star controversée de la télé suédoise, est assassinée au Château d'été, sur le plateau de son émission. La nuit du meurtre, douze personnes étaient présentes. Douze personnes qui ont chacune une raison d'en vouloir à Michelle. Pour Annika Bengtzon, journaliste de la Presse du soir, ce meurtre est un vrai scoop. Mener l'enquête dans l'univers licencieux du petit écran, démêler les câbles du réseau de la victime, intimement liés à ceux des plateaux télé... Pour cela, Annika est prête à mettre sa vie privée entre parenthèses. D'autant que sur la liste des suspects apparaît le nom de sa meilleure amie... Un château. Douze suspects. Un seul coupable.
