     FROM THE CRITICS:
"Evan Kilgore’s debut novel is an amazing piece of work. From the fist few lines it feels like something a little different, something special...Pure genius, like an avant-garde ballet choreographed by a genius madman."   
| Crime Spree Magazine

"Kilgore is a persuasive writer with a stark, stripped-down style: we believe the story because he sells it to us. Balancing always on the edge of surrealism, the novel is a kind of existential thriller, an exploration of what makes a person whole, posing as a story about a bunch of people looking for a mysterious woman. Intriguing stuff." | Booklist

"After the first couple pages the hook has been set, the other books get set aside. [I was] up late into the night, not able to put the book down...As a mix of mystery, thriller, sci fi and adventure, Evan Kilgore seems to be creating a new genre...Kilgore is able to elevate the mundane thriller into a work of thoughtful activity that forces the reader to examine it form all directions. The writing maintains the pace of the story without letting the suspense fade throughout." | Front Street Reviwes

"Fascinating...unusual and very enjoyable..." | Bookbitch.com
