| In this stylish literary page-turner, a writer is forced to play detective when a serial killer hires him to tell his story--and three women turn up dead. |
|
From the Publisher:
Hired by a death-row inmate known as the Photo Killer to write the latter's memoir, self-deprecating author Harry Bloch is forced to play detective when three young women are murdered in the style of the convicted man, a case that renders him both a suspect and target. Original. |
Annotation:
Harry Bloch will do basically whatever-he'll write porn, SF novels, urban detective stories, vampire tales, and even high school final papers. A writer's got to earn a living, after all. So naturally he says yes when a death-row inmate known as the Photo Killer asks Harry to ghostwrite his self-aggrandizingly pornographic memoir. But when three women connected to the Photo Killer are found dead, Harry--whose concern for his own safety never drowns his bitter sense of humor--becomes a prime suspect. As his life turns into a story he might write, Harry struggles to get to the bottom of these disturbingly exact copy-cat murders.

Praise
"A seedy freelance writer provides the wry narrative voice for Gordon's winning debut, a starkly humorous thriller."
01/18/2010
"Seldom has a serial-killer story been as richly textured and laugh-out-loudn funny as this one. Sure to be among the most unusual and appealing of this year's debut thrillers." (starred review)
