Spin

When Annie Martin was twenty and at acting school in New York she dreamed of becoming a star. Fifteen years later she's still waiting.

Then Annie is approached by the most successful image-maker in the country. Once the President's spin-doctor, Alex Lubotsky wants to return to the Whitehouse but he needs Annie's help. Alex offers her the chance of a lifetime, but soon Annie realises that she's in a world controlled by the media, and she's been cast in a role that isn't what it seemed.

Tim Geary combines the worlds of soap opera and politics to explore the confusion between fact and fiction, substance and style in this pointed, perceptive and funny novel.
