TOTALLY KILLER - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 AT NOON
 |
Conspiracy
and pop culture collide in 1991 New York Taylor Schmidt—twenty-three, single, and jobless—arrives in the Big Apple desperate for work and hungry for love. Through the Quid Pro Quo Employment Agency she finds the perfect job and the perfect boyfriend . . . but perfection has its price. Part thriller, part satire, part period piece, Totally Killer is a total page-turner. REVIEWS “Smart, unexpected,
and wonderfully savage in its humor. Totally Killer
nails, without mercy, the mood and minutiae of a weary America
at the end of the 20th century.”
"Debut novelist Greg Olear gets nostalgic for a recently bygone era with Totally Killer—a quirky, darkly funny, and fiendishly clever noirish tale of intrigue and suspense. The ’90s are back in this brilliant collision of conspiracy theory and pop culture that ingeniously blends assassination, politics, paranoia, Dick Cheney, CIA duplicity, and Duran Duran. The raves are already rolling in for this wonderfully twisted tale of an innocent and beautiful young Midwestern girl who finds a “totally killer” job through a most unusual employment agency in New York City." — Jerry Stahl, best selling author of Permanent Midnight, says, “The title doesn’t lie—Totally Killer truly is.” Meet Greg Olear, who spent his college days here in Washington at Georgetown University. He will talk about this suspenseful book, but won't give away the surprises. Greg will be happy to autograph your copy.
