de Charlie Hill

Two tourists die of a mysterious condition while on holiday in Corfu, piquing neurologist Lauren Furrow's interest. She investigates, finding help in the unlikely form of Richard Anger: independent bookshop owner from Birmingham, frustrated avant-garde short story writer and borderline alcoholic. Together they discover the killer: best-selling author Gary Sayles and his lethally mediocre novels. Little do they know that London-based contemporary art-duo Pippa and Zeke also have Gary Sayles in their sights, as part of their most ambitious undercover project yet. Their objective: to destroy his reputation and change the face of art forever. But will Richard and Lauren - or Pippa and Zeke - manage to stop Sayles' sales juggernaut before hundreds of thousands of people die?
