'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.

MEDIA 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.'
-- Alison Moore'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 *'A little Mad Men and a lot American Psycho.'
