Candy Says Kill

A stranger pulls into a roadside bar and motel and gets an offer he can't refuse from a wily femme fatale intent on murder. Can she be trusted to keep her side of the bargain? Is anything ever what it seems? Candy Says Kill takes the reader on a whirlwind ride into deepest Alabama, where a gun for hire stops at a remote Motel and Bar on his way back to New York. A classic pulp fiction case of mistaken identity and opportunism leads him into the arms of fate in the form of a beautiful young woman intent on escaping her dreary life as a bar owner's wife. A double-cross, confusion and murder ensue. But who will survive? T.S. O'Rourke's writing has been declared powerful, beautiful and hard-boiled by both readers and critics alike.
