Holy F*ck

Stella works miracles. Literally. She heals the sick and the paralysed, just like in the Bible. The Vatican is overjoyed--imagine, a real saint in the 21st century, and in Georgia, the heart of the American South. The only hitch? Her method: she heals the people she sleeps with in her motorhome. And she sleeps with a lot of people, it's what she does for a living. And that's precisely what's bothering the Vatican.

A saintly hooker isn't exactly presentable. A martyred saint, on the other hand, has a conveniently rewritten past. That's a job tailor-made for the Bronski twins--the best contract killers in the business. This is the book every UK thriller reader is talking about. A thriller laced with dark comedy, a road movie reminiscent of the Coen brothers, Tarantino and del Toro, but also a homage to the novels of Harry Crews. Stella is portrayed with compassion and grace. In many ways, this is a European writer's love letter to America.

Best New Thriller of the Month--Financial Times
" This freewheeling black comedy has a lot going for it, not least lapidary prose and a fizzy translation'--The Times
"Pulp Fiction vista of the bizarre, the deadly, the shrewd, and a variety of supposed purposes of life. Very much one to enjoy but also plenty to think about. --The Critic
"For me this is one of the best reads of 2026"--ELN Riveting Reviews

"This satirical thriller is funny, cheeky and bloody, but paradoxically, writing with compassion and hope, the author has created something bizarrely uplifting, a small masterpiece of positivity."---Morning Star
