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...
