Killstanbul is a quirky, off-genre pulp crime novel(la) set in the winters of Reykjavík, Prague, and Istanbul. It is a magical realist romp, filled with murderous clothing-hungry cats, mischievous Yule Lads, and Norse lore. Carolus, an Icelandic native hitman, navigates a tangle of women, attackers, and ancient cities looking for the unfortunate mark he’s paid to kill.
