Slick

Slick

Scott Singer is a rising star in the world of public relations, a master at manipulating the news, especially when the news isnâ€™t good for his clients. To journalists, heâ€™s the dark prince of deception. To others, heâ€™s merely the product of an amoral corporate culture. Not that anyoneâ€™s opinion matters to Scott, who shelved his ego years ago. Itâ€™s the only way to stay sane in a world that thrives on cynicism and bad buzz.

The trouble begins on the first day of February sweeps, when a fifteen-year-old girl goes on a fatal shooting spree in her high school cafeteria. For the news networks, itâ€™s a ratings bonanza, especially when evidence suggests that the tragedy was inspired by a popular rap song. Suddenly Americaâ€™s outrage is focused on Hunta, an up-and-coming young hip-hop artist. Now heâ€™s public enemy number one, and a jaded former assistant is about to make his life worse with false allegations of sexual misconduct.

Soon Scott is hired by Huntaâ€™s record company to stop the accuser before she starts. And yet for all his nefarious accomplishments, heâ€™s never used his talents to destroy another human being before. So instead of getting nasty, Scott gets creativeâ€”a grand and epic media hoax that will dominate the news cycle and eclipse one lie with another. Itâ€™ll be his greatest achievement to date, if he can stop his creation from spinning out of control and taking him with it.

Slick is an intricate, edgy, hilarious through-the-looking-glass journey into the heart of our image-driven culture. But donâ€™t take our word for it. Weâ€™re trying to sell you something.

Note from the author: Slick was first published by Random House/Villard in 2004. Now I have the rights back and Iâ€™m re-releasing it as a self-published e-book. This electronic edition has been updated with hundreds of minor fixes and improvements to the narrative.
