Trigger Happy: a novel

by Dave Dumanis

Three people with very different relationships to guns—a billionaire who smuggles them, a middle school girl who's terrified of them, and an aging trailer park queen who's terrified to live without them—are abducted together by a terrorist cult that combines the worst of white supremacist Christianity and fundamentalist Islam, all headed up by a mysterious gang boss known as the Big Kahuna. Written during the three years leading up to the Las Vegas massacre, and eerily published just before it happened, TRIGGER HAPPY is a dazzlingly prophetic look at the role of firearms in post-Trump America that mixes high and low culture into an explosive new cocktail.
