Priviledge Power Addiction Murder Kill Dick From Author Luke Goebel

Set in 2016 on the cusp of a consequential presidential election, Kill Dick unravels in Los Angeles. Its star and (mostly reliable) narrator is Susie Vogelman, a 19-year-old aspiring artist, recent NYU dropout, and opioid addict. A bottle blonde with sharp Franco-Jewish features, Susie is pretty enough, potentially talented, and a lot smarter than she looks or lets on. For a while, it seems like she’s stuck spending her days in a drug-induced haze, lolling around the Brentwood estate she was forced to come home to, trying to avoid her vapid, perpetually disappointed mother and volatile, paranoid father. What gets her to sober up are “the killings”—a string of brutal murders sweeping LA and targeting junkies like her. She can’t help but feel complicit—after all, her father was the attorney to the Sicklers, the billionaire manufactures of Oxytocin. Enter Peter Holiday, a disgraced professor running an audacious rehab scam. When their lives collide, Susie and Peter get drawn into an unlikely alliance with a band of outcasts hellbent on making LA a better place to live. But to escape the rot around them and, just maybe, help stop the killings, they’ll first have to get through a tangled web of privilege, corruption, and violence.
