Throw in Max, a journalist linked to two of the victims, and the whole nightmare seems to get more tangled.

Thanks to the author, Coach House Books, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. In league with JD Salinger, Katherine Mansfield, and Guy De Maupassant, in Pure Hollywood Schutt gives us sharply suspenseful and masterfully dark interior portraits of ordinary lives, infused with her signature observation and surprise.In this sliver of a novel, he gradually picks off his cast, mounting tension by juxtaposing horrific action with the children's innocence and an innocuous setting. When he’s assigned to join a crew of elite security personnel in Chabon, Africa, Ryker’s mission objective is clouded by politics and obfuscation, and he knows only that to protect British interests in the region, he has to infiltrate the close protection team of the government of Chabon, a country with a dark and violent past. A child of the 1990s, and the ultimate millennial 'slashie', she's seen it all, done it all, and written all about it. From start to finish I was captivated by the unfathomable darkness of this little story (only 148 pages on my tablet).
