Evel Tyler, feared rock reporter. Growing up poor in London's working class district of Battersea, Evel gets a lucky break as an apprentice on tabloid newspaper The Daily Goblin and embarks on a nonstop ambitious career as a music journalist. Inventing a popular Indie gigs and reviews column, he takes London by storm. With the help of a gifted computer hacker Evel creates his own private empire of surveillance, espionage and crank calling intimidation to gather information in the pop music and celebrity worlds. Using blackmail and threats and exposure he carves out his career as a prominent celebrity correspondent in his own right whom it isn't wise to cross. Despite his huge success, Evel is tortured by his complete failure to gain recognition as a serious writer. No matter how many attempts he makes to write intelligent and worthwhile novels he is savagely rejected and mocked. Despising his own nefarious methods, he is nevertheless so good at them he cannot do anything else and still keep his brilliantly successful place in the pop music biz. Mad with jealousy at a principled colleague, Evel finds himself drawn into unexpectedly becoming a conscience himself.
