Summary

A paranoid old woman offers you a hundred grand to kill someone. Trouble is, you're no silent assassin and your target is psychic and quite clearly knows you are coming. So our (anti)hero takes the only option open to him - he gets a gun, gets smashed out of his brain and hits the streets.

Hitman Summary

Hitman by Max Kinnings

HITMAN is a fabulously funny, increasingly surreal and darkly violent thriller set in '90s London. Our hero is a slightly-failed but fully-functional P.I. living off the paranoia of an aging B-movie actress, Mar Kettle, whilst simultaneously imbibing vast quantities of various narcotics, topped off with healthy doses of cooking sherry.

It's a simple life, but he likes it.

All this simplicity quickly evaporates when Mar offers an obscenely large amount of money for him to kill one of her ex-lovers who has recently been released from prison...

Hitman Reviews

Funny, violent and surreal. Hitman will blow you away. - Howard Marks

'A meeting of the minds of Elmore Leonard and Timothy Leary ... Bonkers as you like and more fun than chasing the dragon with the Happy Mondays' List - List

Stuffed to the gills with great characters - Imagine Carl Hiassen meets Hunter S Thompson, but funnier and with more drugs. Suberb. - Mondo

A non-stop sprint to the end - a highly accomplished, confident first novel. - The Times

The writing is frenetic, loaded with the right references to pop culture the entertainment factor is high in this piece of pure pulp fiction - Guardian

Firmly in the comic-violent tradition of James Hawes comes this fast-paced and decidedly over-the-limit debut - Mirror
