Product Description"Because Lydia didn't have arms or legs, she shelled out three thousand bucks to a washed up middleweight named Cap to give her ex-husband the beating of his life." But the beating turns to murder, and the murder into lust and desperation between Lydia and an underworld clean-up man. Meanwhile, overgrown frat boy car thieves take up cop killing as a side hobby. When these paths cross, a horror show of violence unfolds as they all slide into a hell of their own design, surrounded by the neon and noise of the casino strip on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Violent, vivid, life at hyper-speed. This debut novel from the editor of Plots with Guns is a noir nightmare that asks how much is too much in a relationship, and what is the cost of leaving? Ken Bruen calls it "the darkest song I've ever read".

A taut, urgent thriller set in 1989 Berlin which subtly mixes real events and people with imaginative story-telling around Stasi corruption, financial chicanery, greed, murder and totalitarian brutality but also integrity and a commitment to justice - hard to put down. It's a complex, layered story with great characterisation. Does crime pay? You'll need to read the book to find out, won't you?
