Candy Says Kill: A Shot of Modern Noir
A stranger pulls into a roadside bar and motel and gets an offer he can't refuse from a wily femme fatale intent on murder. Can she be trusted to keep her side of the bargain? Is anything ever what it seems? Candy Says Kill takes the reader on a whirlwind ride into deepest Alabama, where a gun for hire stops at a remote Motel and Bar on his way back to New York. A classic pulp fiction case of mistaken identity and opportunism leads him into the arms of fate in the form of a beautiful young woman intent on escaping her dreary life as a bar owner's wife. A double-cross, confusion and murder ensue. But who will survive? T.S. O'Rourke's writing has been declared powerful, beautiful and hard-boiled by both readers and critics alike.

This is the first story I have read by this author and it definitely won't
be the last. The descriptive language used is evocative of the great
noir stories of the forties and fifties. You feel as if you can see, smell,
and hear The same things the protagonist does. A man walks into a
bar and meets a femme fatale behind the bar who needs a favor from
the man. Well- done.
