'I think we could finally be looking at Britain's answer to Bret Easton Ellis. And about time too. Holmes has given us not only a first class satire on the cost and price of fame but an unglamourised image of the modern man in the self destructive - but ultimatley likeable - Chris Sewell. Encore please.' Sam Oliver, Fiction Buyer, Waterstone's Newcastle; "Chock-full of cultural references. American Psycho for the new century - with laughs" - Steve Birt, Assistant Manager, Ottakar's, Gloucester

Here's a top tip for the heavy drinker...Never get drunk and force your way into the home of the country's biggest pop star wielding a gun. It's bound to go off, big time. Christopher Sewell is famous. He used to be an advertising sales executive with a wife, a drink problem and not much more. Now he's serving life for the murder of Felix Carter, who used to be a famous pop star with an acting career, a drink problem and the world at his feet. Only he's dead now. How and why Chris killed Felix is a mystery. Until, that is, he agrees to give a single interview from prison. Just the one interview, mind. You know what these celebrities are like...Tremendously sharp and at times laugh-out-loud, this is a delicious satire about celebrities and their fans, and the way the media attempts both to satisfy and to inflame our obsession with success.
