Dominick Prince is out of options. He’s lived in Detroit long enough to use his experiences of crime and poverty to fuel his writing, but he’s ready to move on to bigger and better things. Dominick’s thesis advisor, the elitist Parker Farmington, refuses to let Dominick pass his class, thinking the genre of potboilers beneath him. Which means rather than becoming the next literary sensation, Dominick will spend his life asking customers if they’d like fries with that. And if that’s the only plan, kidnapping doesn’t seem like such a bad plan B.So if Farmington won’t pass him willfully, Dominick will make him do it forcefully. And once he has Farmington’s signature, fame and fortune are within Dominick’s grasp. But while Dominick may have a devious and brilliant mind on the page, in reality he’s more Betty White than Walter White. And before he can write ’the plot thickens,’ Dominick’s plan begins to go horribly wrong. Teaming with Farmington’s jilted mistress and her loose-cannon bounty hunter brother, Dominick finds that if even the best laid plans go awry, then his doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. And being a great writer won't matter much if he's six feet under.

Murder Boy, by Bryon Quertermous Review Praise for MURDER BOY:"I found MURDER BOY disturbing in a GOOD way, the best possible way. It's hilarious, yet incredibly aware of its own twisted reality. Personally, I don't know of another book like it. Saying something is such-and-such "with heart" is a big meta-joke, but I thought MURDER BOY truly was a black comedy with heart."Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of HUSH HUSH and WHAT THE DEAD KNOWBryon Quertermous has the thing that every writer strives for and many never find: a truly unique voice. His writing is crisp and clean, his storytelling sense is honed, but it’s the voice that holds the magic. The balance of the comedic and the dramatic in his work is a rare treat, reading like a deliciously blood-soaked crime novel rewritten by Christopher Moore. Try the first sentence of MURDER BOY, and then tell me if I’m wrong.”Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead"Quertermous gives Dominick an almost continual output of insightful, and often times laugh out loud funny, narration that stands apart from the pack. Clearly influenced by Duane Swierczynski and Victor Gischler, Bryon Quertermous makes his debut novel MURDER BOY stand apart and on its own."CrimeSpree MagazineBryon Quertermous’s MURDER BOY is chock-full of crackling dialogue, whirlwind pacing and the most sociopaths per capita of any book I’ve read in a long time. (I mean that in a good way.) It’s dark, brutal, and irresistible.”Kelly Braffet, author of Save YourselfForget the debate over MFA vs. NYC raging in bookish circles right now. Bryon Quertermous fires a shotgun blast through that false dichotomy with his crackling debut novel MURDER BOY, as much a violent romp and action-packed tale as it is a sobering look at thwarted literary dreams, the corrosive results of envy and jealousy, and finding courage and mettle close to home and heart.”Sarah Weinman, editor of Troubled Daughters, Twisted WivesBryon Quertermous has created a witty, gritty thriller. Equal parts Elmore Leonard and WONDER BOYS, this book is a winner. With a voice that carries you and a pace that pushes you, this is a book you can’t miss.”Dave White, Shamus Award nominated author of the Jackson Donne seriesRough and raw and fast and furious and genuinely funny, with a dizzying array of villains and a hefty dose of madcap adventure, Bryon Quertermous’s love letter to the crime fiction genre, MURDER BOY, is an awesome debut from a talented, assured voice. MURDER BOY is a winner.”J.T. Ellison, New York Times-bestselling author of When Shadows FallMURDER BOY is at once dark, irreverent, and laugh-out-loud funny a breakneck tale that manages to both send up and pay homage to the tropes of the crime genre. I’d expect nothing less from the twisted mind of Bryon Quertermous.”Chris F. Holm, Anthony nominated author of The Big ReapWithin a few chapters of MURDER BOY, I started hearing Goodis in the background, but with a postmodern wink and nudge. Quertermous has something to tell us, and I’m damn sure going to listen. Keep an eye out. This guy’s got the voice.”Anthony Neil Smith, heart attack-surviving author of the Billy Lafitte series and founder of Plots with GunsOne part manic and one part meta, MURDER BOY is as much a meditation on love, loss, dashed hopes and second chances as it is a crime-filled, gonzo-pulp fever dream fueled by booze and bodily fluids.The Maine Suspect"Quertermous has created a work which exists simultaneously as both a classic example of the noir thriller and as a unique dark comedic attack against the hypocrisy of academia."BOLO Books

By Mej A solid debut novel. Comparisons to Christopher Moore are well suited because of the humor in the story. Overall, I think the next book will likely be the stronger showing but I do recommend Murder Boy for fans of crime fiction who want a different spin on a crime story.

Rhoades Grad student and aspiring crime writer Dominick Prince just wants his professor to sign off on his thesis so he can move on into the nice writing fellowship he sees as his ticket out of Detroit. But when the snotty Parker Farmington refuses to put his name on the dotted line, Dominick concocts a plot with the professor's equally disgruntled girlfriend and her insane bounty hunter brother to kidnap him and force him to sign. Poor Dominick is quickly in over his head, because let's face it, this schmendrick would be out of his depth in a rain puddle.The plot ricochets from place to place, with bizarre and hilarious characters and situations popping up and recurring with the surreal almost-logic of a bad dream. There's a lot of "WTF?" followed by a lot of "ROTFL!" Hardcore crime fiction fans will spot a few in-jokes here. I confess, this book took a little getting used to at first, but pretty soon I was digging it. Highly recommended.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wicked Little Sucker of a Book By David Corbett I’m having trouble thinking of any better way to describe this book than Laura Lippmann has with “black comedy with heart,” or Lou Berney did when he described it as “one hundred pounds of demented humor in a fifty-pound sack.” Those who, like Michael Koryta and Anthony Neil Smith, have praised the author’s unique voice are also on point. Nothing happens as planned in this story, and more than a few plot turns caught me completely off-guard. The humor – and it’s a very funny book – relies on brutal candor about ego, ambition, and the hapless optimism of the unlucky. The characters are forever whirling blindly and blithely toward their own unique disasters. As I read I caught myself thinking more than once: “No, don’t do that. Stop. Go back. Please. Oh God.” Give this book a whirl. To quote one of the characters: “It’s … messy and beautiful.”
