CROSSING THE SOUND (PB)

It’s the opportunistic eighties and Thom Lloyd is working in London’s hottest ad agency. He feels the zeitgeist, but he’s stuck in corporate accounts and his career is going nowhere. Making an escape, he finds himself on a remote Scottish island where he encounters Eliot, a charismatic young guitar player with a phenomenal talent. And Rhona, an artist who intuitively realises that together Thom and Eliot could forge a brilliant future. Thom turns out to be a master of manipulation. But how can he keep driving the game-plan forward when Eliot doesn’t want to be famous?
