Publisher Description
SO THIS GIRL WALKS INTO A BAR...
...and when she walks out there's a man with her. She goes to bed with him, and she likes that part. Then she kills him, and she likes that even better. On her way out, she cleans out his wallet. She keeps moving, and has a new name for each change of address. She's been doing this for a while, and she's good at it.
And then a chance remark gets her thinking of the men who got away, the lucky ones who survived a night with her. She starts writing down names. And now she's a girl with a mission. Picking up their trails. Hunting them down. Crossing them off her list...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
MWA Grand Master Block revives his Jill Emerson alias for the first time since the 1970s for this extremely violent erotic novel that works better as soft-core porn than as noir. As a child growing up in smalltown Minnesota, femme fatale Kit Tolliver suffers years of sexual abuse from her father. Blaming her mother for failing to stop the incest, she fakes her quarreling parents' murder-suicide and gets away with it. Her neighbors view her as a brave survivor of a devastating trauma. As a grown woman suffering from long-lasting and deep-seated psychological wounds, Tolliver devotes her life to seeking out and killing men she's slept with. At one point as she travels around the U.S., she has to turn investigator to track down some of her quarry. Tolliver, who hasn't a shred of remorse for her victims, isn't a particularly appealing antiheroine, and after the first few slayings, the action drags.
Customer Reviews
A Good Story......
The tag line about it being a novel of sex and violence is not an exaggeration. Goes overboard in both categories, especially the sex. A little bit of every perversion you can think of.....and then some.
