Everybody has something to hide. We each have something we don't want the world to know. This means secrets have power. And that power gives forbidden knowledge its overwhelming allure.

In The Dirty Secrets Club, a group of A-list San Franciscans plays hide and seek with the secrets in their pasts. The game is risky but exciting, until they start dying and taking others with them.

Forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett, consultant to the SFPD, must figure out why murder-suicide has become a grisly game. She learns that the dead all belonged to the Dirty Secrets Club, a shadowy clique that's playing truth or dare with some crazy secrets.

The Dirty Secrets Club is a virtual confessional where members reveal their wildest doings. It's part ego-trip, part strip-club of the conscience, part game. And it's exclusive: you have to apply to join, and you won't be admitted unless you're a power player with something shocking in your past. The club is for thrillseekers who want to play Russian roulette with their status and their freedom.

Where did the idea come from?

From human nature. People love secrets. Secrets can be horrible, fun, or deadly. Most of all, they can be valuable. But only as long as they stay secret.
