The Fixer - Couverture souple

Kinnings honed his flair for cynical, treacle-black comedy with his first hit novel, Hitman, and here, he's fashioned a disturbingly topical satire on celebrity culture and moral relativism. Imagine 'Natural Born Killers' with a nod to 'Ab Fab', and you'll be on the right lines. (Heat)

There is real humour running through [The Fixer], and it's fascinatingly off the wall - a bit like Guy Ritchie meets Benny Hill - the beauty of it is that [Kinnings] has managed to write a novel on the subject of fame that is just as frivolous and addictive as the reality TV it trashes. A funny and stylish thriller'. (The Mirror)

This shocking take on what might happen to our obsession with reality

culture if it were taken to its furthest logical conclusion is a twisted,

gasp-a-minute page turner for our times.
