KILLING THE RABBIT

Alison Goodman

Description of book

Murder is the main attraction in this dark and wickedly comic new thriller that follows a young indie filmmaker on her way to fame, fortune, and a shoot-out to the death.

Hannie Reynard landed every aspiring filmmaker’s dream: a hefty grant to make her documentary Freaks or Frauds. But the groundbreaking film that was supposed to launch Hannie’s career may kill her first. Blowing the grant money on a lost weekend in Paris was bad enough, but now the “stars” of her film–women who share a unique genetic trait–have stopped talking…and started disappearing.

Coupled with a burned-out ex-classmate hitching his own hopes for a comeback to her project, Hannie finds herself the unlikely co-star of a movie that will never be made if a very powerful someone has anything to say about it. For Hannie is already in the crosshairs of his chief “cameraman”–a ruthlessly unconventional hit man who never misses a lethal shot.

Reviews

* "A sharp, aware and compelling thriller, taking the genre into exciting new territories."—Michael Marshall, author of Blood of Angels
* “Quite simply the best first adult speculative novel I've read in years. I'm tempted to invoke the names of Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Marge Piercy, and even Quentin Tarantino ... but Goodman's near-future vision and ripped-from-the-tabloids premise are so unique I'd rather not compare her to anyone. I hope and believe that Killing the Rabbit marks the arrival of a major new talent on the speculative scene.”—Chris Moriarty, author of Spin Control
