Face Lift describes the disturbing and terrifying mental and physical journey taken by two ugly losers who are brilliant A-grade college students. Their lives are made a misery by the leader of the ‘beautiful elite’ – who has everything and stands to inherit an industrial conglomerate.
They are both transformed by revolutionary plastic surgery, one into a dead ringer of the man they hate; the other into a stunning catwalk beauty. Now there is only one game worth playing but with impossible odds and dangers, They set out to exact the ultimate revenge – to erase the rich boy and take over his life and fortune permanently.
“It is exceptionally well written,” says Ocean House Press CEO David Anthony. “This is a super intelligent thriller with genuinely original and terrifying sub-text. The obsession with beauty and how you look being how you are defined is just about the most topical theme around. This has been blended with a mystical realism that is wholly convincing. Focus group results prior to publication bear this out. We expect this book to do very well.”
