Martin's latest client is an artist who has the potential to win the Turner Prize.

Charles Prentiss becomes the subject of spin after he invents an under-age sex scandal to promote a client's books and is put on trial for perjury. The trial becomes a cause célèbre of Jeffrey Archer-like proportions.
