Description

"The Edge is a scathing portrait of the music industry, and a love letter to Los Angeles but most of all it's a meditation on growing up and letting go. Janelle Brown, author of Watch Me Disappear Insightful and true, The Edge is the real deal. Alan Parks, author of Bloody January WHEN LIFE ON THE BRINK IS ALL YOU KNOW Substance-fuelled partying, endless women and a slew of smash records are music hotshot Adam Fairheads lifeblood. But when an avoidable accident occurs under his drug-addled watch, he is forced to re-evaluate the life he has created. Increasingly disillusioned with what once seemed so pulsatingly cool, Adam begins to question everything."
