Shooting Elvis

ebook
Thelma & Louise meet Pulp Fiction in this pop-noir thriller.
 
Shooting Elvis is a highly charged, action-packed thriller about a California good girl gone bad. Cute, blond Mary Alice Baker delivers a briefcase to a stranger at LAX for her Harley-riding boyfriend. When it explodes and levels a terminal, Mary becomes an instant terrorist and quickly transforms herself into Nina Zero—punk fugitive, thief, private eye, and new darling of the shock-hungry media. Her quest to discover what all the cash and blood are about drive this fiercely intense narrative to its explosive ending.
 
“An often funny, often violent, ripping roller-coaster ride laced with black humor, acid wit, and dead-on observations about life, fame and fortune in the late 1990s.” —Scientific American
 
“Whip smart . . . Best described as punk noir, it takes the sardonic bite of Raymond Chandler and sets it to the mosh-pit madness of Green Day. An exciting and daringly original book.” —The Boston Globe
