Zoo

An advertising executive walks the razor's edge between truth and illusion in this powerful novel that's "e;a little Mad Men and a lot American Psycho"e; (The Skinny). Of course it's a bloody lie. It's an advertising campaign . . . James Marlowe has a gift for selling people things they don't need. But as he strives to meet the demands of amoral clients, rival colleagues, and his young family, James must up his game. A cocktail of cocaine and alcohol keeps his conscience at bay and fuels his ambition as he works. But when body and mind can't take any more, he plunges into a surreal world darker than the one he's fallen from . . . From the award-winning author of Kings of a Dead World, The Zoo is "e;a grippingly dark and ultimately moving story about exploitation, destruction and the possibility of redemption"e; (Alison Moore, Man Booker Prize finalist and author of The Lighthouse).
