Readers of Peter Rogers' previous novels have come to expect fast-paced narratives, steamy romances and plots laden with suspense culminating in a dramatic twist. In The Peacock Rogers delivers all of this and more. The Peacock charts the theatrical career of a latter day Noel Coward called Adam Smith, who is determined to make his mark as the world's most famous playwright. Smith, nicknamed 'the peacock' is taken up with a succession of admirers and affairs. Despite the challenges he faces, Smith does eventually achieve his dreams only to have his celebrity exploited by cynical men. Forced to take stock of his life, Smith realises the price he has had to pay for his success and turns to his ever loving sister for comfort.
