Dime Store Hitman

By Thomas Curran

Book Overview

Meet Eddie "The Cowboy" DelDuco.

Low-budget hitman. Professional problem solver. Human coupon for bad decisions.

Eddie doesn't do tuxedos, silencers, or six-figure contracts. He does burner phones, garage-sale weaponry, gift cards, and discounted group rates. If you need someone gone and your budget is rolling around in your glovebox, Eddie is your guy. He takes out people the way other guys unclog sinks: cheaply, creatively, and usually with something from the clearance bin.

When Jessica Starling, a vapid but dangerously ambitious influencer, hires him to "relocate" her boyfriend, Eddie figures it's just another bargain-bin gig. Instead, it becomes the murder that launches a thousand hashtags and turns a quiet disappearance into a public spectacle.

As Jessica's following rises as fast as her body count, Eddie gets pulled into influencer feuds, a lovesick cryo-spa owner spiraling toward disaster, and a relentless true-crime podcaster circling for clicks. Every move drags him deeper into L.A.'s glossy nightmare of clout chasing, manufactured outrage, and monetized tragedy, where optics matter more than truth and attention is the deadliest currency of all.

As the bodies pile up and the spotlight grows hotter, Eddie must stay one step ahead of the chaos he helped create, making sure someone else always takes the fall.

Dime Store Hitman is a darkly comic crime thriller set in modern Los Angeles, where fame kills faster than Botox and nobody reads the fine print.
