TOROS & TORSOS
It's not art until somebody dies: Toros & Torsos pits novelist Hector Lassiter against a cabal of killer surrealists in a historical saga spanning decades and continents… a noir love story turning on dark scholarship pointing to an underground of killer artists who might have gotten away with Hollywood's most infamous, unsolved murder. "Toros & Torsos will appeal to fans of crime fiction and literary fiction alikenothing short of a surrealistic masterwork." —PAUL GOAT ALLEN, CHICAGO TRIBUNE "This is granite poetry in all its stone glory." —KEN BRUEN, PRIEST "A bold, ambitious, genre-bending novel from the talented Craig McDonald." — GEORGE PELECANOS, THE TURNAROUND "Knowing and artful...the suspense pushes at a lovely pace until it starts to stomp like Hemingway on an empty bota." — DANIEL WOODRELL, WINTER'S BONE "Lush, sprawling...Hector Lassiter, a complicated, rueful and haunted Ernest Hemingway and dozens more draw us close to their chests, anchor us, win our favor and, in the end, break our hearts." — MEGAN ABBOTT, QUEENPIN "Crime writer and ladies' man Hector Lassiter makes a return appearance in McDonald's outstanding second series effort. Spanning over a quarter-century, this novel displays McDonald's storytelling and writing skills. McDonald wows with his writing, which seems effortless despite using many voices, and his book will keep readers rapt." —LIBRARY JOURNAL "Deftly mixes myth, history and a serial killer who arranges dead bodies to resemble surrealistic art. McDonald's imaginative tale takes an enjoyably different approach to art and murder." —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY |
