Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2013
Shortlisted for the South Bank Sky Arts Awards 2014

Book of the Year in the Guardian, Spectator, Independent and Daily Mail.

Richard House's The Kills is an epic novel of crime and conspiracy, told across four volumes.

It starts with an explosion, a man on the run and the theft of over fifty million dollars. It moves from the Middle East to the Mediterranean, around mainland Europe via the sleazy underworld of Naples, and across America. It ends in a locked room.

Brilliantly original, playful and ambitious, The Kills is a terrifying, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing sensation.

Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.

‘A damn good book’ The Sunday Times
‘A staggering achievement’ Daily Mail
‘A thrilling, overwhelming ride’ The Spectator

Richard House is an author and artist. As well as the Booker Prize-nominated digital-first novel The Kills, he has written two previous novels, Bruiser and Uninvited. He is a member of the Chicago-based collaborative Haha.
