Description
Book Synopsis‘Of course it’s a bloody lie. It’s an advertising campaign.’
James Marlowe has a gift for selling people things they don’t need. As he strives to meet the demands of rival colleagues, amoral clients and his young family, James has to raise his game. A cocktail of cocaine and alcohol fuels his ambition, but when body and mind can’t take any more, he plunges into a surreal world darker than the one he’s fallen from.

‘The journey may be somewhat exhausting, but it feels worthwhile, and we don’t lose hope that there will be a happy ending to this human and psychological thriller.’

‘One of those rare books that you have to read a second time the moment you reach the end – no small feat for a debut novel. This could well be the next Bret Easton Ellis.’
