Ambition - Julie Burchill

Tobias Pope ruled his communications empire with fear and loathing – his employees feared him and he loathed them. But he may have met his match in Susan Street, the young, beautiful and nakedly ambitious deputy of his latest newspaper acquisition. As they fight, shop and orgy from Soho to Rio and from Sun City to New York City, getting what she wants – the top job – seems so simple. If she doesn’t break first.

But blackmail, the supernatural and love are just three of the mantraps that lie between Susan Street and the top. No taboo is left unbroken, no fantasy left unturned in this shocking novel of female aspirations. The only power that can get Susan Street out alive is her own ambition.
