Small Mouth Demon

SMALL MOUTH DEMON IS THE MOST ORIGINAL AND ENTERTAINING CRIME NOVEL YOU WILL READ THIS YEAR.



“Cryptocurrencies for the mainstream investor? I hate to break it to you, but if anything sounds like an oxymoron, Jimmy, then that’s it.”



Hawk, dissolute advertising creative wunderkind, is given the project that might just save his career, rescue him from debt, and put him on the fast track back to human dignity. All he has to do is create the brand for FOCXI, a new crypto start-up, and help launch it to the world. But the deeper he gets, the more Hawk has to wonder: is anything in the cryptoverse really what it seems?



And, who’s killing his staff?



This darkly comic novel takes you into a world where greed, gullibility, and graft intersect. Set against a sweltering Auckland summer with an unforgettable cast of characters, cutthroat-edged dialogue, and page-turning action, Small Mouth Demon is the most entertaining novel you’ll read this year.



“Vivid, powerful, and highly entertaining. Deliciously dark and laugh-out-loud funny.” - Paddy Richardson
