Gun Monkeys - Victor Gischler My first Gischler book.

His lead character Charlie Swift is a National Geographic-loving killer, whose girlfriend is a taxidermist. ..:)

I believe one has always to start at the beginning. He proves, should anyone have any doubts, that exceptional prose can turn the merely ordinary into an extraordinary winner.

Gischler's prose is charged with kinetic energy and it’s darkly funny.

Narrated in the first person, Gischler’s writing is contextually real and simply, deliciously, hilarious. From the opening sentence, which has to rank as one of the best openers ever, “Gun Monkeys” delivers a fresh take on good old-fashioned sleaze, written with great style, enormous energy and even greater wit.
Noir Crime Fiction at its best.
PS. Almost everybody he meets gets bumped off and the body count by the end of the book is in war movie territory…
