'Every novel is a puzzle, and every reader a sleuth' An outrageously original debut novel and fiendishly brilliant puzzle the likes of which you will never have read before

Doesn't so much break the fourth wall as crash through it in a bulldozer' Guardian

'Diabolical' Chris Pavone

You are reading the blurb for an experimental novel by a debut author called Dann McDorman. It is a book set in a US country club and if you read the book itself, you will very quickly meet the man you think will be the protagonist, private detective Adam McAnnis.

You don't know who has hired him, but you do know from the very first line of the book that someone will die (maybe him? maybe the driver of the car he is a passenger in? maybe someone we are yet to meet?). But you can't imagine in what ways this story will unfold. We can absolutely promise you that.

West Heart Kill is an outrageously original and imaginative novel that plays with the very nature of storytelling, beginning with a detective but definitely not ending with a solution
