So Tender a Killer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798348555696)

"So Tender a Killer is Jim Thompson meets Anna Kavan for a sundae on Mars. Matthew Kinlin brilliantly creates a queasy, dreamy, nightmarish vision that's addictive. It reminds me of reading Muriel Spark-the dread but also the lingering details, a way of looking that is seductive and repellant and recognizable.

"Ambition has fucking nothing to do with anything."

A fashion model decides to abandon her husband and children to murder an ex-lover, photographer Celine Stein, before boarding a one-way flight from London to Las Vegas. Lost in an arid zone, she encounters a woman that looks strangely familiar.
