A darkly funny tale of fashion, fraud and free lunches from a promising new voice in fiction.
Charlie Barrett is ready for a career change. It's not that ten years of modelling haven't been fun - the Paris shows, the nightclub guest lists, the smart flat and even smarter girlfriend. But, at 33, adverts for comfy cardigans and the Stannah Stairlift are beckoning. So when a chance meeting results in Charlie being offered the job as the face of 2cool2btrue, he readily accepts. 2cool is the web equivalent of Armani, Prada and Gucci; the sexiest thing in cyberspace and everyone wants a piece of it. As their marketing guru, Charlie's days are spent flicking through magazines looking for luxury products for the website to endorse, his nights a whirl of launch parties and champagne. But things start to go wrong. 2cool's owners disappear; so does a large amount of money. And when Charlie is investigated for fraud, the only person who can help is an eccentric journalist called Nora.
