"The first-person viewpoint of this contemporary crime thriller is written in rapid-fire, confessional prose, reminiscent of the style of authors Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis."
- The US Review of Books
'Did I really do all of it? Yes, I did. All of it. But there's no telling. Not straight up. I'd get thirty-to-life.'
After killing a man with good reason, a New York lawyer goes off-grid and begins life over on the Island. Under a new identity, Calvin Loch 'fixes broken things' for Chad and Stacy and nobody realizing the extent to which he goes. Ostensibly a respectable man, he travels the world as the authorities play catch-up.
A serial killer's diary, Incel Mantis catalogues the events that push an attorney to the edge. From office politics to shady dealings, from being love-struck to killing 'justly', this first-hand account is a chilling expos of how an intelligent person gets away with it. The verdict: crimes don't warrant punishment if done by a balanced 'bad man' who believes that he's doing good.
This fictional confessional adds to our understanding of subversive millennials - from gaslighting to misogyny - among men at pains to find a place in the world.
