Killing Adonis

Autor J. M. Donellan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2016
After seeing a curious job advertisement stating LIGHT DUTIES. LARGE PAY. (ALL CASH. NO QUESTIONS ASKED OR ANSWERED), Freya finds herself in the employ of the infamous and extremely eccentric Vincetti family, heads of the Halcyon corporation. She is tasked with caring for the Vincetti s comatose golden boy Elijah a man who they claim was everything from a saint to a genius. As Freya explores the labyrinthine mansion and the secrets it holds, she soon becomes aware that the Vincettis and in particular Elijah are even stranger and more deluded and dangerous than she expected. Over the course of the next few weeks the heads of rival corporations rapidly fall prey to a series of elaborate executions. She befriends Jack Vincetti, the black sheep of the family, and learns that he is writing a novel that appears to have uncanny similarities to the recent murders. Things take an even more bizarre turn when the Vincettis host a birthday party for Elijah, wheeling him out in a tuxedo and acting almost as if he is conscious. Freya sleeps with Jack and discovers a plastic sample bag with a collection of locks of hair as well as a single white feather under his pillow. After befriending Elijah s fiance Rosaline, Freya discovers that she is the heir to one of Halcyon s major rival corporations, and that a wedding will merge the two companies and grant Halcyon dominance of the global pharmaceutical industry. Traumatised and unstable, Rosaline can think of nothing else save her fairy-tale wedding, even after she admits that she is privy to the horrors that Elijah has committed in the past. It has been said that comedies always end with weddings, tragedies with funerals. This story ends with both a bride and a body count."
