With some 66 hits under his belt, Tomislav Bokšić, or Toxic, has a flawless record as hitman for the Croatian mafia in New York. That is, until he kills the wrong guy and is forced to flee the States, leaving behind the life he knows and loves. Suddenly, he finds himself on a plane hurtling toward Reykjavik, Iceland, borrowing the identity of an American televangelist named Father Friendly. With no means of escape from this island devoid of gun shops and contract killing, tragicomic hilarity ensues as he is forced to come to terms with his bloody past and reevaluate his future.
“A sensational book. Hallgrimur Helgason’s brain is like this amazing app that morphs the English language into gorgeously blunt new forms. It delivers surprise after surprise and makes you feel good about books again. I can’t recommend it enough.” —Douglas Coupland, author of Generation X “If you read this I predict [Helgason]’ll be in your mind to stay.” —DBC Pierre, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Vernon God Little “[Helgason is] uproarious, sharp, and outrageously funny.” —Kirkus Reviews “[Helgason’s writing is] intelligent, unexpected and beguiling.” —The Guardian
