Bestseller - Olivia Goldsmith

Résumé :

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A 'Bestseller'

It's autumn in New York, and in the anything but gentlemanly world of books the knives are out as the new season's list is launched. Stars and wannabees, hustlers and hasbeens all scramble for the prizes, the profits and the prestige - not least at big-time publishing house Davis & Dash where success depends on a handful of authors:

SUSAN BAKER EDMONDS - face-lifted megastar whose blockbusters have topped the charts for longer than anyone can remember

JUDE DANIELS - pseudonym of a husband-and-wife team. She did all the work while he takes all the glory

GERALD OCHS DAVIS - novelist and publishing supremo - known to his minions as G.O.D. Is his latest offering worth the million dollars he paid himself?

CAMILLA CLAPFISH - a demure English rose. A chance romantic encounter brought her elegant little novel to Davis & Dash

Behind the books and writers, and the people who make and break them, is a whole world of passion, politics and intrigue. Who will survive in the race to the top?
