The Gutter Bar

By Paul Catmur

Ben Putney has just landed the biggest job in advertising - President of the Cannes jury.

Now he just has to survive it.

Behind the ros -soaked glamour of Cannes Lions, the real game is being played: rigged awards, fake campaigns, and reputations built on smoke and mirrors. Everyone wants to win. No one is playing fair.

As the week spirals, Ben's life starts to unravel - his marriage is cracking, his career is on the line, and the people around him are far more dangerous than they look. In a world where perception is everything, the truth is just another ad campaign.

How far would you go to win?

Dark, fast, and brutally funny, The Gutter Bar is a savage satire of ambition, ego, and the beautiful lies that hold it all together.

Perfect for fans of dark humour, sharp satire, and stories where nobody comes out clean.
