"Howlingly Funny and Wickedly
Amusing". Nick Foulkes, Literary
Review
Tim says of Stop Press:
Written more than twenty years after my
earlier Simon Bognor Fleet Street novel, Deadline, this is a tougher
more satirical book reflecting the changes in journalism over this period
and my own somewhat jaundiced views about what happened to my world.
About Stop Press:
Comic novel set amidst British National Press when Prime Ministerial sex scandal rocks Government. When Fisher, the literary editor of
The Conscience, is fired he goes quietly. But not as quietly as it seems. Before long he is back in journalism thinly disguised as a
"Media Consultant" wreaking havoc among his former employers. By the time he has finished, the Prime Minister and his boyfriend are inextricably entwined with Great Britain's women's rugby team as they are hunted down by a motley gang of hacks organised by Fisher
in a war torn banana republic about which no newspaper wishes to know anything unless it is to do with sex, soap or the Royal Family.
