Product Description
Product Description
Boddekker's not just a faceless copywriter anymore, grinding out ads for VR simulators and mood/attitude orienters. Now he's the "five-hundred-pound gorilla" of the Pembroke Hall agency, lumbering toward fame, fortune, and a fabled house in Princeton with shapely Honniker In Accounting. All thanks to Ferman's Devils, the four New York City street thugs whose record-breaking (and bone-breaking) commercial has won them billions of fans and made gangster chic the latest rage.
Yet Boddekker's new proteges are on the fast track to hell. First they assault a famous talk show host. Then they murder a former child celebrity in cold blood. And the more outrageous their actions, the more popular they become. So when another murder occurs, this time just too close to home, Boddekker knows he must find a way to take the Devils down. He made them and he can break them...if they don't break him first.

Ingram
In "Ferman's Devils", Joe Clifford Faust surveyed the advertising biz of 21st-century Manhattan. Now, after being mugged by the Ferman's Devils street gang, ad writer Boddekker is about to hold up his end of a life-saving and hopefully, career-making, deal he made with the ruffians--to feature them in a commercial. But following a successful campaign launch by the Devils, Boddekker realizes that they can't handle fame and fortune, and he must scramble to protect his future--while he still has one.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good, but gads is it grim...,
By GeoX "GeoX" (Men...Of...The...Sea!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boddekker's Demons (Paperback)
Well, this was sort of unexpected. Ferman's Devils was a very fun, light read, despite the ever-present darker elements. This second tome more or less cuts out the "fun, light" bit, in favour of expanding on said darker elements. You may have noticed that, despite the gang's alleged brutality, you never actually see them kill anyone. Here, you see them make a whole lot of people die. In addition to that, the company comes across as much more evil, and Boddekker's ladylove is much more cold, cynical, and generally repulsive. It's still a good read, but it's certainly a shock.

"Demons" as scathing as "Devils".,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boddekker's Demons (Paperback)
Faust's second book in the "Pembroke Hall" series is as scathing and wickedly hilarious as it's predecessor "Ferman's Devils". Beleaguered Boddekker jumps from the frying pan into the fire while all around him turn up the heat! The author hasn't let his fans down one bit. Anyone looking for their "daily Jones" of Faust satire will be pleased.
