The Star Witness

Zusatztext

<p>If you know me at all, you will know me as a liar.</p><p>Kevin Carver is a household name. A popular TV soap star, hes coasting through life in the same semi-detached, slightly smug way hes always done.</p><p>But when he callously dumps his much younger girlfriend Jade over supper one evening, he makes the first in a series of catastrophic mistakes.</p><p>One poor decision leads to another and soon his whole life begins to unravel. He finds himself the subject of vitriolic press attacks, a police investigation and so much public loathing that he starts to wonder if he has any chance of receiving a fair trial. As the line blurs between his own life and that of the character he plays on TV, Kevin is forced to confront a lifetime of inadequacy in order to redeem himself.</p><p><i>The Star Witness</i> is the story of one mans descent into disgrace and his journey to rejoin the human race. This pin-sharp satire on the shallows of modern media culture will keep you laughing, cringing and guessing until the very last page.</p>
