Her crusade has cost her everything: Her apartment, friends, relationships, and any hope of promotion. And for what? Readers don’t care, her boss and workmates pity her, and the billionaire bro-ciopaths she writes about continue to fail upwards. But when two of her highest profile subjects are killed on the same night, their deaths staged as gruesome public suicides, Lou’s work is suddenly and violently thrust into the spotlight. Blamed for the deaths, fired from her job, and pursued by vengeful trolls who have already attacked her mother, Lou has only one chance of survival: To find the killer obsessed with her work, and stop them before anyone else dies. Or perhaps not. Because the more Lou discovers about the ingenious killer's past, and their methods, the more she becomes determined to help them succeed. PRAISE FOR PAUL BRADLEY CARR“For a cautionary tale, everyone cites Paul Bradley Carr.” – THE SUNDAY TIMES“A testament to the virtues of debauchery… uproarious and brilliant.” – WIRED“Carr has made a reputation as one of the feistiest writers on the beat.

It’s like the grey goo that he feeds off.” – MIKE BUTCHER, TECHCRUNCHUtterly endearing. Completely addictive reading.” – PAPERBACK CHOICE, THE PRESS ASSOCIATION“The columnist [and] enfant terrible has been summarily sacked from practically every outfit he’s worked for, including companies he started.” – ZDNET“Like James Bond, Paul symbolises a freedom man would sell his own sister to achieve.” – LOADED MAGAZINE“There’s no denying that he’s an idiotic, irresponsible chancer – qualities that make him an unpredictable travel companion, but put his story-telling skills in first class.” – SCOTTISH DAILY RECORD“Makes me want to vomit for all the right reasons.” – MIL MILLINGTON, AUTHOR, THINGS MY GIRLFRIEND AND I HAVE ARGUED ABOUT“Just because Paul Carr is a raging asshole doesn’t mean he’s not right.” – ADAM PENENBERG“The most irritating and self-satisfyingly smug person I have ever met. Annoyingly, he is also the funniest.” – ZOE MARGOLIS, AUTHOR, GIRL WITH A ONE TRACK MIND“Commenting on Paul Carr is beneath my dignity. He’s absurd.” – MATT TAIBBI
