Murder Bimbo, a 32-year-old sex worker turned unlikely assassin, has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck, and now has only two days, her wits, and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life. Her best bet is to email a feminist podcast: Justice for Bimbos. The host has a cult following, and a famous affection for maligned and murderous women.
In a series of emails written over forty-eight hours from a secret location, MB explains how she was recruited and trained by a cabal of code-named men who claimed to be government agents. Meat Neck, who might remind us of (redacted, but please insert any number of men), is a threat to democracy. Sounds normal, right?So, she kills him.
And she's on the run. But, when she starts a new series of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, X, we realize that MB might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be. In fact, the assassination may be part of a bigger scheme, one that's not political, but entirely personal.
In this gripping epistolary novel told in three parts, MB reveals three distinct personas: a feminist anti-hero to her sympathetic podcast host, a charming protagonist for her ex-girlfriend, and an unscrupulous survivor in her own head. Hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical she is... MURDER BIMBO.
