Ethan Wolfe is a well-regarded, highly moral investigative journalist, but when an investigation goes wrong, he is forced to take a restorative sabbatical. This intensely engaging novel, ‘Reality TV’, chronicles what happens next.
Sticking two fingers up to his employers, Ethan impulsively applies to appear on ‘The Perfect Crime’ - a hit UK reality TV show in which a team of detectives attempts to prevent a team, the Criminals, from completing a series of organised crimes. With family problems back home, and ever-increasing hostile tension with young teammate Matt, Ethan’s devout moral focus wanders as the show develops, and the team struggles to get a grasp on victory.
