Synopsis

Ian Bridges has a job he enjoys, works his own hours and earns good money. But he’s not a happy man. He wants more from life and longs to find that special lady to share his success. The only problem is, the only women he gets to meet in his line of work end up dead. Still, he’s determined to find a wife, even if it means that he has to kill every woman in Britain.

Appallingly funny, this is Danny King's darkest, most comically twisted novel yet.


Reviews
‘One of the few writers to make me laugh out loud. Danny King's brilliant at making you love characters who essentially are quite bad people' David Baddiel
‘It’s blokeish humour ahoy in this thoroughly enjoyable tale... King’s writing is sharp, his comedy as black as Donald Rumsfeld’s heart and he has a real penchant for dialogue as spoken by criminals... the book’s hitman protagonist himself [is] a piece of work so nasty he makes Osama bin Laden look like Claire Rayner’ Maxim
‘The action flows as thick as the blood and the jet-black humour will leave you wondering whether to laugh, cry or vomit’ Jack
