THE LOVE PARADE is a darkly funny and very clever thriller set amongst the beautiful people of Hollywood and the French Riviera, not to mention the tongue-tied denizens of the London publishing world and the other victims of media shock syndrome. Three twenty-something malcontents pull off the intellectual equivalent of a diamond heist, but as the stakes are raised and the bluff and counter-bluff turn to blackmail and murder, it's clear that there's only room for one at the top. 'A work simultaneously full of fizzing and superficial flavour and of real eventual seriousness ... this is an entertaining and original book ... and a moral and forgiving one' - Candia McWilliams, Independent on Sunday
