The Last Treasure Hunt

The Last Treasure Hunt

by JaneAlexander (Author)

Synopsis

A chilling and hard-hitting first novel - The Herald. At the age of thirty, Campbell Johnstone is stuck behind the bar of a shabby pub, watching from the sidelines while everyone else makes a success of their lives. The most visible is Eve Sadler, a childhood friend and rising Hollywood star. When Campbell tries to rekindle their relationship, he longs for the glitter of her success to rub off on him - but a single shocking night changes everything, in ways he could never have predicted. When the dust settles, Cam's life is transformed. The recognition he'd given up on is within reach - but at what cost? The Last Treasure Hunt explores our obsession with fame and celebrity with great intelligence and sly wit - it's a modern media morality tale with bite.
