Résumé

When fifteen minutes can mean life. Fame's not what it used to be...

Sleb Résumé

Sleb Andrew Holmes

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.
