A murderer confesses. As a teenager, Jane Charlotte takes down the janitor of her school, whom she believes to be a child murderer. Now she claims to belong to a secret organization that fights evil. However, the longer the interrogation in the psychiatric ward of a prison in Las Vegas lasts, the more contradictory and disturbing her statements become. The psychiatrist questioning Jane seems to know an unsettling amount about her, and about her little brother, who was kidnapped as a child—but is any of it true? Matt Ruff tells a fast-paced novel full of comedic, fantastical, eerie, and thrilling elements. Those who think of Philip K. Dick, Pynchon, any kind of comics, and Matrix films are not mistaken.
