To Kiss or Kill

Big Barney Marsek married up. Way up. A girl from the social register, the kind of woman who probably never knew what a working man's hands looked like before him. But Barney's luck, as they say, is what happens when bad luck runs out of room. When he finds himself in a ring where the only rule is survive, he learns that a double cross is more lethal than any right cross. Day Keene writes pulp the way it should be written: fast, hard, and with a gut-punch of a title. To Kiss or Kill is the story of a man who married the wrong woman, fell into the wrong scheme, and discovers that the people closest to you are the ones holding the knife. This is crime fiction stripped to its bones, where every kiss could be the last and every promise comes with a price tag. For readers who want their books mean, fast, and willing to break a few hearts along the way.
