Tony Wilson’ has just returned from South Africa where he was the correspondent for ‘Santo, Sam and Ed’s Cup Fever’. Apart from longest ‘goooooaaall’ competitions and shirtless Aloisi re-enactments for that show, Murdoch Books has also released his second novel. It’s called ‘Making News’ and its about a sex scandal that rocks the family of an ex-Socceroo. The back cover blurb reads as follows:
The photo was clearly sexual, all skin and limbs. It was a CCTV image, which looked to be from security footage. Lucas leaned forward to read the accompanying paragraph. Within half a sentence it was as though a foot had crashed through the monitor and kicked his teeth in. He closed his eyes and willed himself to wake up. He checked again. The image was still there. My god, look at the goofy smiles. No wonder the world was laughing. Under normal circumstances, he’d be laughing too. If the face that was front-and-centre didn’t belong to a member of his family.’
Lucas Dekker is celebrity offspring, twice over. His Australian father, Charlie, has recently retired from a stellar football career in the Premier League. His English mother, Monica, is a self-help guru, who has sold millions of books with her pro-family message. But when Charlie’s involvement in a bizarre sex scandal hits the tabloids, the Dekkers’ own family dynamic will never be the same again.
Making News is a darkly hilarious story about celebrity culture, the media and what really goes on behind the smutty front pages that everyone loves to read.
