Psychosomatic

Because Lydia didnt have arms or legs she shelled out three thousand bucks to a washed up middleweight named Cap to give her ex-husband the beating of his life. But the beating turns to murder and the murder into lust and desperation between Lydia and an underworld clean-up man. Meanwhile overgrown frat boy car thieves take up cop killing as a side hobby. When these paths cross a horror show of violence unfolds as they all slide into a hell of their own design surrounded by the neon and noise of the casino strip on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Violent vivid life at hyper-speed. Psychosomatic is the debut novel from Anthony Neil Smith and it is a noir nightmare that asks how much is too much in a relationship and what is the cost of leaving?
