Details
Synopsis
Former addict turned private investigator Manny Rupert pretends to be a prison drug counselor in order to possibly uncover the infamous Nazi "Angel of Death" Dr. Josef Mengele. Author Jerry Stahl (PERMANENT MIDNIGHT) unleashes his usual blend of perverse over-the-top black absurdism in PAIN KILLERS.
Industry Reviews
"Stahl is no stranger to smashing social taboos, and his trademark blend of ballsy, blacker-than-black humor and wry social commentary lets him find humor in the Third Reich." (starred review)
(01/19/2009)
"[A]s you read...PAIN KILLERS... it's difficult not to conjure up the work of the late Gregory Mcdonald and his creation Irwin "Fletch" Fletcher. That Rupert survives by his wits and humor is what first reminds one of Mcdonald's work, and Stahl's comic handling of brutal territory will remind readers fondly of the late master, though Rupert is certainly far more twisted than Fletch ever was."
