“With his American contract killer in Paris, Sam Tallent has created a protagonist you’ll never forget as the bodies pile up like cordwood. Brut comes on like a freight train and never stops. Violent, chilling, wonderfully well written, as modern as tomorrow—this is a novel for our times.”—Terry Hayes, New York Times bestselling author of I Am Pilgrim
Robert Beaujolais forfeited the last years of his youth to the Marines, watching his friends die. Beaujolais survived, but civilian life made him regret it. Compared to the truth of war, peace fit him like a casket. At least he was in love, even if he was the only one who could admit it. They were together—until they weren't.
Then, out of nothing, something: the architects of the world offer Beaujolais a job in the blood business. They prefer to call it arbitration, but Beauj knows murder—killing is his calling—and as an arbiter, Beauj is the ultimate judge.
But when Beaujolais botches a simple hit in San Francisco, his shadowy employers manifest to remind him that he is, in fact, capable of dying. Beauj is given a choice: kill or be erased. The destination is Paris; the target is Europe’s last remaining godfather, the Archangel of Florence.
A blistering tale of love and violence, Brut is the story of a man measuring the circumference of his soul in bulletholes. Is his or any other life worth saving? Only the arbiter can decide.

Recensioni della critica
“A brutal story about a master killer becomes in Sam Tallent’s hands a piercing and spiritual novel that somehow touches the hem of so many human mysteries it takes on the heft of revelation. Realized by Tallent’s lush, transcendent prose and a truly indelible protagonist, Brut is a work of profound existentialist beauty that depicts love, loss, and the riddle of identity with such depth and power it belongs in the company of Robert Stone, Denis Johnson, and Cormac McCarthy. I was blown away.”—Nic Pizzolatto, creator of True Detective
“Mesmerizing, as if Jim Thompson were dropped into a world of DMs and infinite scrolling . . . Sam Tallent, like his hero Bobby Beaujolais, is nimble, resourceful, and unapologetic—as adept at the pursuit of higher consciousness as he is at ultraviolence. Brut is a beaut.”—Nathaniel Rich, author of Cloudthief

“Brut is a violent banger of a novel about an assassin with nothing to lose accepting an impossible job. A must-read for anyone who considers themselves a man.”—Anthony Jeselnik
“A young man washes out of the marines and into a life as a contract killer in this engaging new novel from author and comedian Sam Tallent. Equal parts brooding and propulsive, this is a book for anyone in search of a fresh take on a classic genre.”—Crime Reads
“Tallent blends striking prose and rich characterization in this exceptional thriller centered on an ex-Marine turned hit man . . . riveting, and the intense final scenes provide an immensely satisfying payoff to Beauj’s character arc, but it’s Tallent’s ornate sentences that stand out most. This is a winner.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Tallent, a stand-up comedian and novelist . . . captures the reader with his opening sentence. . . . When, a few sentences later, he describes a pork cutlet as being ‘pounded the circumference of a hubcap,’ readers know they’re not going anywhere until they’ve finished the book. Tallent is a fine writer. He’s taken a familiar idea . . . and sent it off in a new direction, filling the story with things rarely seen in other thrillers and making readers feel as though they’re seeing it all for the first time. . . . Highly recommended.”—Booklist
“Bleak, bloody, and soulless, but the plot is good.”—Kirkus Reviews
