    Always close the door when you’re in here with me.” My new boss is cold, calculating, and demanding. His name is Jett Davenport, and it suits him perfectly. His eyes are black. Jet black. I’ve never seen eyes that color or that intense. Nothing I do is ever good enough for him, and with each mistake I make, with each unwritten rule that I break, the consequences get worse and worse. Until finally he begins calling me into his office. He whispers in my ear that I can’t come until he tells me to. He touches me until I bite my lip to keep from screaming. He’s constantly in control, taking me to the edge and then pulling me back. He claims his number one rule is that he will never, ever sleep with an employee. But even if he slips up, one thing I can be sure of is that he will never stay with me for long. Never love me. Never marry me and keep me safe. Because if there’s one thing I can be absolutely certain Jett Davenport will break, it’s my heart…

     Stuart David’s cult classic, The Peacock Manifesto, was described by The Big Issue as ‘a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the Transporting generation,’ and by Scotland On Sunday as 'a lightning-paced explosion on the page. A feast of bruising humour.' It tells the story of Peacock Johnson, a well-dressed Glasgow hard-man who heads for America armed only with a Glen Campbell record, and an idea that he believes is guaranteed to turn him into a dance music millionaire. Peacock touches down in Chicago, and sets off on a wild road trip across the country with an ex-con called Evil Bob. Let loose in the land of gun-totting taxi drivers, gargantuan sandwiches, and ecstatic Elvis worship, Peacock watches his plans spiraling chaotically out of control as he travels towards a full on collision with American culture, at breakneck speed- doing everything he can to hold onto his Glaswegian vision of the American Dream. Praise for The Peacock Manifesto: ‘The DJing scene alone is, as Peacock might say, “pure f*cking genius”’ UNCUT ‘With a frenetic mixture of farce and reality David has created a rollercoaster ride of a novel.’ ATTITUDE ‘The f-word count is probably a world record” THE BOOKSELLER MAGAZINE
