Articoli correlati a People Die
At 29, JJ has reached the peak of his career. He works out of a small consultancy in Zurich. He dates Aurianne - a beautiful air-hostess - but worries about whether he really loves her. But, thankfully, money is not a worry. You see, JJ is a contract-killer. Working freelance for a select organisation, he has built a reputation as a discreet, professional cleaner who doesn't cause trouble for employer or 'client' (beyond the obvious...). But when - after a disposing of a corpulent businessman - he becomes so fascinated with the man's beautiful companion that he lets her go, he starts a chain of events which will lead him to re-evaluate his whole life and beliefs.

Recensione:
'Black and filmic' (The Times)
'The body count in this tersely controlled thriller is extremely high and rather shocking, even for die-hard thriller readers like me. . . A good, fast read.' (Daily Mail)
'Terse and spooky, PEOPLE DIE is that most remarkable of things: a killer-thriller with humour and heart' (The Face)
'Unconventional and remarkable debut novel...The writing is fluent and thoughtful; there are no histrionics here. Even so Wignall is good on the mechanics of the hit, the banality of evil... thought provoking stuff, well worth your time' (Tangled Web Uk Review)
'Kevin Wignall has managed to pull off the (almost) perfect anti-hero saga with admirable originality and economy of language ... People Die nonetheless engages the reader from the beginning and with a gripping twist worthy of le Carre or Fleming, Wignall turns an implausible plot into something very credible' (Bristol Evening Post)
'Wignall's spare dispassionate prose pulls you in as he details JJ's machinations to avoid the bullet himself and the casual killing of those in the wrong place at the wrong time' (The Big Issue)
