Hell's KitchenBy Chris Niles (author of the Sam Ridley mystery series) Fiction | Trade paperback
"Fusing the black humor of Shallow Grave with the sassy observations of Sex in the City, this is an unexpected treat." -The Mirror Cyrus is a millionaire recluse. Oh, and a serial killer who preys upon apartment hunters in New York City. Armstead Maupin meets Carl Hiaasen in a brilliant black comedy that traces the paths of disparate characters floating through New York, about to collide in a treacherous story that will make you think twice about ever answering a classified ad. Chris Niles was born in New Zealand, and currently resides in New York. She is the author of a series of mysteries featuring radio reporter Sam Ridley: Spike It, Run Time, and Crossing Live. Critical praise for Hell's Kitchen: "A comedy, a very black one about flat-hunting in New York where anyone with an apartment to let could easily be a conman or woman or, if you are really unlucky, a serial killer. Gruesome and hilarious in turns, the book not only shows off the author's acute observational powers but proves she has superb timing when it comes to telling a joke, and where the targets are the media or the American obsession with health, beauty and fitness, she takes no prisoners." - Birmingham Post "Cool, snarly, and hilarious, Hellıs Kitchen turns Manhattan over like a rock and letıs its phonies, wannabies, conmen, and killers come crawling out. Vicious, funny stuff." - Andrew Klavan, author of Hunting Down Amanda "Niles turns the snappy, sexy one-liner into an art form." - Stella Duffy, author of Wavewalker (Mask Noir) |
