Publisher Description
Edgar Award finalist Craig McDonald blends art, murder, and a touch of noir in this thriller set in 1935. Hector Lassiter is a gutsy crime writer who believes in the "write what you live and live what you write" mantra. Then Hector learns of another artist who follows this method--a serial killer who takes inspiration from art, leaving his victims in bloody vignettes of surrealist paintings. When a woman Hector knows becomes the latest work of art, he vows to stop the sadistic artist.

"Hector Lassiter is quite the hardboiled dude! Also manages to meet some very interesting twentieth century characters in his travels. Zelig or Gump-like except with a Colt Peacemaker. Just manages to stay inside the credibility line and brings up "hidden history" which is always fun!"

" second of the series that I've "read". Well narrated in the audio version. Fun insights into the writers and artists in early 20th. A bit gory and bloody. "
