Kent Messum, a serial killer thriller for fans of The Straw Men and The Shining Girls.  LIFE GOES ON  For a lucky few, death is merely an inconvenience. With the help of technology the mind can survive long after a body has been laid to rest. This afterlife, however, is far from paradise...   MAKING A LIVING   Rhodes is a 'Husk'. It's an illegal, controversial and highly lucrative job - renting out control of his body and mind to the highest bidder. It's a sure way to gain a better life, but some clients go too far. Sometimes, he wakes up with scars.   MAKING A KILLING  Then the visions start - terrible sights that haunt his waking hours. They could be dreams, or they could be something far worse - they just might be memories...    Praise for J. Kent Messum:  'Raw, visceral, powerful ... may just make you question what it is to be human' Nick Cutter  'Pacy and surprising, Husk is a showcase for a wild and frightening imagination' Andrew Pyper  'Disturbing, pulse-pounding and utterly surprising' Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me  'The stakes could be no higher in this crisply written, fast-paced novel that examines the shifting line between right and wrong, good and evil ... Will keep readers turning pages late into the night' Lori Roy, Edgar-Award-winning author of Bent Road and Until She Comes Home    'A powerhouse debut ... A mesmerizing, one-sitting read' Steve Ulfelder, Edgar-Award finalist author of Purgatory Chasm and The Whole Lie","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49590321053969,"sku":"GOR006890632","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633110655249,"sku":"GOR006942184","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1405914262.jpg?v=1750713116","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/husk-book-j-kent-messum-9781405914260","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
