The Opportunity by Will Volley
A modern-day Death of a Salesman, this thrilling debut graphic novel casts a spotlight on the unforgiving world of door-to-door salesmen. Colin is an ambitious salesman on the verge of 'making it' as the owner of his own sales office. When the terms of his promotion change without warning, Colin and his team find themselves with just five days to achieve a new sales target - and to prevent his rival, Paul, from being promoted. Set amid the rain-lashed estates of southern England, The Opportunity is darkly disturbing and stylish.
