The exhilaratingly twisty story of sex worker turned politicalassassin on the run,Murder Bimbois anunputdownable and wholly fresh take on truth, murder, and optics in our national moment.

A thirty-two-year-old sex worker is shocked when shes approached by undercover government agents to aid them in a top-secret plot to assassinate a politician known as Meat Neck. But once the deed is done, she realizes what made her the perfect recruit:Shes 100% disposable.

Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits, and a laptop to save her own life.

Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcastJustice for Bimbos. In a hastily typed series of emails, the newly minted Murder Bimbo explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agentsto take out Meat Neck.

Then she opens a new email. This time, its addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently

Constructed in three increasingly unhinged acts, each a more subversive version of the story than the last,Murder Bimbocan be read as a gloriously bold literary thriller, a satirical vigilante’s manifesto, or a raucous send-up of the political insanity we alllive inside every day. Either way, its a dead-serious announcement of an electric new voice in American literature.
