'Of course it's a bloody lie. It's an advertising campaign.'

James Marlowe has a gift for selling people things they don't need. As he strives to meet the demands of rival colleagues, amoral clients and his young family, James has to raise his game. A cocktail of cocaine and alcohol fuels his ambition, but when body and mind can't take any more, he plunges into a surreal world darker than the one he's fallen from.

Reviews

'The Zoo intrigued me from the very first page. Jamie Mollart's debut novel is a grippingly dark and ultimately moving story about exploitation, destruction and the possibility of redemption.'

'This was a book I read quickly and avidly.'

* New Books Magazine *

'The Zoo is dark and relentless in its bleak portrayal of modern day consumerism and the effects we all ignore.'

* We Love This Book *

'The journey may be somewhat exhausting, but it feels worthwhile, and we don't lose hope that there will be a happy ending to this human and psychological thriller.'

* Book Oxygen *

'One of those rare books that you have to read a second time the moment you reach the end - no small feat for a debut novel. This could well be the next Bret Easton Ellis.'

* Staff recommendation, Waterstones Leicester *
