Conjugal Rites — Lawrence Block

Kit Tolliver's chosen lifestyle is pretty clear-cut. She finds a guy, goes home with him, has sex with him, and kills him. What could be simpler?

But way back in “Rude Awakening” (Kit Tolliver #2) she had a little too much to drink, and she fell asleep before finishing the job. During breakfast the next morning, she found a chance to put a little something in her host's vodka bottle.

Alas, it didn't work out quite the way she'd hoped. Peter Fuhrmann was alive and well, and still a name on her list of The Ones Who GotAway. It took a lot of work to determine this, and more work to locate him, and all that was the easy part.

Because he's in a maximum security prison. And how the hell is she going to get in there and kill him?

All of Kit's homicidal (and increasingly erotic) adventures are collected in book form in Getting Off. Or read the next installment, “One Kind Favor I Ask of You” (Kit Tolliver #8).
