Christopher Sewell is famous. He used to be an ad executive with a wife, a drink problem and not much more. Now he’s serving a life sentence 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. Why and how Chris killed Felix is a mystery. Until, that is, he agrees to give a single interview from prison. Just the one, mind. You know what these celebrities are like… A sharp and delicious satire about stardom, and the way the media attempts to both satisfy and inflame our obsession with success.
Shortlisted for this year’s WHSmith New Talent Award.
