While filming on location in Belfast, John Doe, the universally adored host of the culinary travel show Last Call, is found dead in a hotel room in an apparent suicide. As the news of his untimely demise breaks, a group of friends, fixers, hustlers, and opportunists vie to seize control of the narrative. With raucous, deliciously cutting prose, crackling dialogue, and an unpredictable, tightly plotted story line--bolstered by the authors' insider knowledge of high-end restaurants and low-end digital media--The Lemon is a darkly hilarious and ultimately devastating interrogation of the underside of success and fame, and our ongoing complicity in devouring the cultural heroes we hardly deserve.
