Synopsis

Ian Bridges has a job he enjoys, works his own hours and earns good money. But he?s not a happy man. He wants more from life and longs to find that special lady to share his success. The only problem is, the only women he gets to meet in his line of work end up dead. Still, he?s determined to find a wife, even if it means that he has to kill every woman in Britain. Appallingly funny, this is Danny King's darkest, most comically twisted novel yet.

About this title

Review:

?One of the few writers to make me laugh out loud. Danny King

s brilliant at making you love characters who essentially are quite bad people (David Baddiel ?It?s blokeish humour ahoy in this thoroughly enjoyable tale... King?s writing is sharp, his comedy as black as Donald Rumsfeld?s heart and he has a real penchant for dialogue as spoken by criminals... the book?s hitman protagonist himself [ cry or vomit? Jack)

Synopsis:

For Ian, being a hitman is just a job. Good money, security and a never ending supply of contracts. It sometimes causes problems with his lady friends but by and large, they are understanding and accept his frequent absences. Ian faces a moral conflict when given a contract to get rid of Janet, the love of his life, the only woman to really understand him. And moral conflicts are not something that Ian can cope with. A pitch-black comedy about love, murder and dating. The Hitman's Dlaries continue Danny King's unique take on what makes low life characters tick.
