|summary=Libby Steele was hoping to get a permanent job with the newspaper and the case she was covering was her big chance.  It was even more important to her than the celebrity wedding she was to attend the following day with her ex-rock star boyfriend, Matthew.  She was leaving her seven-year-old son, Patrick with her sister, Emma, and heading off to a grand manor house hotel in the North Yorkshire countryside.  Daniel Acroyd, television presenter and former member of the rock band was marrying Vicky and Libby suspected that the wedding wasn't ''quite'' as high-profile as had been suggested as there was no ban on photos or phones.

Is this connected with one of her eco-warrior parents saying the end of the world is already a done deal? Is it some spooky new kind of music she's dreaming of? Is she just bonkers?
