Judy Nunn's bestselling debut, set in the steamy, cut-throat world of television. Judy Nunn's bestselling debut, set in the steamy, cut-throat world of television. Edwina Dawling is the golden girl of Australian television. The former pop singer is now the country's most popular actress, an international star thanks to the hit TV soap The Glitter Game. But behind the seductive glamour of television is a cutthroat world where careers are made or destroyed with a word in the right ear ... or a night in the right bed. Where success breeds envy and corruption, concealed in the flashing smiles at every premier event, every party. Only the ruthless make it to the top. And, as Edwina is soon to discover, they will stop at nothing to stay there. Not even murder. The Glitter Game is a delicious expose of the glitzy world of television, a scandalous behind-the-scenes look at what goes on when the cameras stop rolling.
Judy Nunn's career has been long, illustrious and multifaceted. After combining her internationally successful acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, Judy decided in the 80s to turn her hand to prose. The result was two adventure novels for children, Eye in the Storm and Eye in the City, which remain extremely popular, not only in Australia but in Europe. Embarking on adult fiction in the early 90s, Judy's three novels, The Glitter Game, Centre Stage and Araluen, set respectively in the worlds of television, theatre and film, became instant bestsellers. Her subsequent bestsellers, Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage, Floodtide, Maralinga and Tiger Men confirm her position as one of Australia's leading popular novelists.
