4.0

An incredibly gripping and intense horror noir from an exciting new Puerto Rican author. Firmly entrenched in Trump's America, it tells the story of a father who becomes a hit-man to deal with the medical debt brought on by his daughter's pediatric cancer. On his way to a huge final score, he 
encounters many monsters, from drug-addled allies, to bigoted Proud Boys, to things beyond the realm of human understanding. Tragic, violent and freaky... an absolutely unique and excellent horror thriller.
