Death By Guillotine, and Other High-End ServicesFollow

by Krislyn Lyon

Have you ever had an incredible business idea? Have you ever been told it was "frowned upon"--or even illegal? ...have you ever done it anyway? Meet A savvy Italian who could sell ice to an Eskimo. Most recently, he's come up with an idea that's sure to be the pinnacle of his entrepreneurial a high-end assisted-suicide service specializing in medieval execution procedures. Having market-tested the concept, he needs a partner. Meet A pudgy Polish washout working at his family's mechanic shop, though he yearns to be a part of something greater. He and Dante were college roommates, and he's very familiar with the risk involved if he becomes a part of the latest get-rich-quick scheme. Meet Gonzo's chic, secretive ex, with unlimited connections, a penchant for power, and a vindictive streak. When circumstances force Gonzo to partner with Dante, a whole new world of opportunity and unexpected challenges opens. Is their business even legal? Will they be able to find (and hold) a secretary? Will their unseemly activities capture the attention of local authorities--who just so happen to be led by Michiko? Death By Guillotine is an unhinged Dahlian adventure through the pitfalls of selling controversy, the paradoxes of social approval and the justice system, and how wild and crazy life can be when you swing it by the horns as you shoot from the hip.
