About the Book

A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she'd be someone.

But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles's super-rich.

Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family's lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from inside the house.

Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives. Finding herself the target of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie sets out on a road-trip like no other, accompanied by the mysterious woman, who has quickly become the most important person in Evie's mixed-up life. Meanwhile the press run wild with her story: a gifted kid turned killer, a new Charles Manson looking to start a class war.

Evie is - finally and disastrously - someone.

Killer Potential is an edge-of-your-seat break-neck ride, a queer love story, and a darkly funny critique of how the stories we're sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.

About the Author :

Review :
Compelling, creepy and cool, Hannah Deitch has written a Thelma & Louise for our times Fierce, fun, wild and enraging. Killer Potential is by turns moving, thrilling, raucous and funny. A deeply accomplished debut Pump this into my veins. A modern day Thelma and Louise for lesbians who make Das Kapital jokes Razor-sharp writing, frenzied pace, twists and turns - prepare for impact! Thelma and Louise, but meaner and darker, this novel asks us to consider why we still need to tell stories about the women in our lives and the women in our media. And how the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves often leave the biggest mark. This book seethes with tension, desire and greed Wickedly funny, intoxicating and shocking, Killer Potential is the queer crime novel you've been searching for. It's a love story and a road trip coiled tightly inside a thrilling nation-wide manhunt. You. Are. Not. Ready Like encountering a strong electrical current: Killer Potential is bright, bracing, and surging with power. Deitch's writing style is fast-paced and undeniably bold. This is the kind of book that imprints itself on your brain; it's that wild of a ride. Killer Potential is one hell of a page turner and an honest to goddamn ton of twisted fun Thrilling, audacious, and laden with more booby traps than a survivalist's lair, Killer Potential heralds the arrival of a stunning new literary voice. A riotous, wholly singular debut Killer Potential is a twisty, wild ride of a novel that will keep you reading until the early hours. Stylish and brilliant I'm obsessed with this novel. It's a funny, shocking pageturner and the writing crackles with quality. So good! I can't stop talking about it A hot, twisty fever dream you'll never want to wake up from . . . Killer Potential throbs with deliciously cunning characters and a fierce intensity that will keep you turning every page quicker than the last
