Synopsis

At nineteen, Susie Vogelman should be coasting: she's an NYU dropout with no responsibilities, endless prescription pills, and a Brentwood estate to waste away in. But Los Angeles has other plans. A string of brutal murders targeting addicts spreads through the city, and Susie's ivory tower begins to crumble. The headlines point too close to home: her father's ties to an opioid empire, a sinister secret society, and her own complicity in the systems holding it all together.

Then there's Phil Krolik, a disgraced professor running a rehab scam so audacious it's almost admirable. When their lives collide, Susie and Phil are dragged into a web of privilege, corruption, and violence, where every escape leads deeper into the rot.

Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, Kill Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction.

My Thoughts 

Kill Dick by Luke Goebel sounds like a dark, unsettling journey into the world of wealth, addiction, corruption, and violence. At its center is Susie Vogelman, a nineteen-year-old NYU dropout whose seemingly carefree life in Los Angeles begins to unravel as a series of brutal murders exposes disturbing connections to her father's opioid empire, a sinister secret society, and the systems she herself is part of.

The story becomes even more intriguing when Susie's path crosses with Phil Krolik, a disgraced professor running an audacious rehab scam. As their lives become entangled, the novel explores the dangerous relationship between privilege, exploitation, and self-destruction.

What makes this premise particularly compelling is its unflinching look at the darker side of Los Angeles and the people caught within its web of secrets and corruption. With its dark satire, surreal atmosphere, and literary thriller elements, Kill Dick promises a thought-provoking exploration of a world where wealth and power can conceal some deeply disturbing truths.

A bold, dark, and intriguing read for anyone drawn to literary thrillers that examine the uncomfortable realities of privilege and human nature.
