Andrew Manning has spent twenty years repackaging and reviving celebrities whose careers have been overshadowed by scandal, but now even his remarkable talents are about to be tested by some particularly dangerous characters...
Janey, pop music goddess, a celebrity with peculiarly vampire-like teeth, a desire for 'very young flesh' and extremely disturbing eating habits that are about to be exposed by an ambitious young photographer.
The Producer, a king in the world of entertainment and a serial abuser of hopeful young 'wannabe's'. Shelley, model and social media influencer, who's determined not just to blackmail her famous and secretly gay husband but also to utterly destroy him. Joey, a troubled reality TV star, desperate to hang on to his celebrity, even if it means slowly poisoning himself to death. Charlie, morbidly obese, murderous Mafiosi adviser to Janey, who asks Andrew to do something so disturbing that even he, a veteran of celebrity weirdness, is appalled. Meanwhile, Johnny, Andrew's partner, begins a descent into celebrity-induced psychosis. There are voices in his head, and they're telling him to kill celebrities. Will Andrew be able to balance the demands of so many different and desperate characters - and who's going to end up dead? HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR FAME, WEALTH AND CELEBRITY?Fresh, engaging and pushing the boundaries. It's written by someone who has obviously worked in the celebrity industry...a fascinating insight into a glamorous but tawdry world. Very original...kind of like Brett Easton-Ellis comes to London. - (Ian Probert Author of 'Johnny Nothing') When I can open up a book and within a few pages I can start writing a film play for it, it's good. Not only did I like this book I loved it. I started casing actors in different roles as I read it....this book should get a lot of attention and I mean some Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright type of attention. Kevin Smith could do a lot with it as well. - (timothius.com) There are parts that will make you laugh and others that will have you sitting there with your mouth hanging open re-reading to make sure that you read the words correctly....it contains everything you would expect like sex, murder, marriages of convenience, black mail, spying, and one thing I can't even write about here. You'll just have to buy the book to find out what it is! - (twbarton.com) A darkly addictive world you won't soon forget. (bestthrillers.com)Masterfully debunks the exquisitely perceived realm of celebrity. A riveting thriller from the start...truly original and distinctive. (Bookviral.com) Clever prose...bitingly ironic and dark...a fast-paced story that will leave you breathless. (iamindeed.com)
