Totally Killer

"Smart, unexpected, and wonderfully savage in its humor. Totally Killer nails, without mercy, the mood and minutiae of a weary America at the end of the 20th century."
--Brad Listi, author of Attention. Deficit. Disorder.

Debut novelist Greg Olear gets nostalgic for a recently bygone era with Totally Killer--a quirky, darkly funny, and fiendishly clever noirish tale of intrigue and suspense. The '90s are back in this brilliant collision of conspiracy theory and pop culture that ingeniously blends assassination, politics, paranoia, Dick Cheney, CIA duplicity, and Duran Duran. The raves are already rolling in for this wonderfully twisted tale of an innocent and beautiful young Midwestern girl who finds a "totally killer" job through a most unusual employment agency in New York City. Jerry Stahl, bestselling author of Permanent Midnight, says, "The title doesn't lie--Totally Killer truly is."
