1. Assignment

'Coolhunter' Cayce Pollard takes on an apparently routine assignment in London. Fast-moving thriller read by Lorelei King.

Cayce Pollard is a young American advertising consultant with an unusual allergy - she's hyper-sensitive to brands and branding.

It's a pretty lucrative affliction, because Cayce is a 'coolhunter', employed by multinational companies to test new brands and logos.

She knows, instinctively, what will work - and what won't.

But visiting London for what should have been a straightforward job, Cayce becomes involved in something altogether more mysterious and complicated...

Stylish fast-moving thriller by award-winning cult American author, William Gibson.

Read by Lorelei King.

Abridged in five parts by Ron Roberts.

Produced at BBC Scotland by David Jackson Young.

Made for BBC 7 and first broadcast in February 2007.
