'A delicious gallop through 90s tabloid London' - Sam McAlister,
author of Scoops
It's peak 90s London. Shoulder pads are out, crimped hair is in,
supermodels are known by their first names, and Becky Sharp will do
anything to escape her past.
From mingling with tabloid millionaires to trading favours and fortunes
with royalty, she will stop at nothing to reach the top of the career
ladder at the Mercury newspaper. Landing scoop after scoop, Becky
ruthlessly carves a place for herself in a society determined to ignore
her. These are the biggest stories and scandals of the decade, and she
has something to do with every one of them.
But Becky may have more in common with the people she writes about than
she thinks - what takes a lifetime to build takes only a moment to
destroy . . .
