Book launch: Kill Billionaire with Anders Lustgarten

Kill Billionaire: The Riotous Revenge Caper You’ve Been Waiting for

Kill Billionaire is the best sort of political thriller: gripping, revenge fueled and unapologetically radical in its politics, discussing climate change and the elite.

When her home is destroyed in wildfires, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate change: billionaires. She teams up with Mr P, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels. Together, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past.

The trio’s mission soon develops a life of its own, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for superrich oil executives, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final, remarkable hit?

We are delighted that Anders Lustgarten has chosen Housmans as the launch pad for this propulsive, daringly political work of thriller fiction!

He will be in conversation for around 45 minutes to an hour, followed by a Q&A and signing session.
